Depleted Uranium Weapons, Munitions and Dedicated Components screen criteria

How to read this definition

Inclusion criteria describe evidence that can establish this activity. Exclusion criteria identify circumstances that do not establish it on that basis alone. The evaluation remains connected to its taxonomy version and supporting evidence.

Can establish this activity

Included when supported

Evidence may support involvement when it matches one or more of these inclusion criteria.

11 criteria

01Criterion
Complete Depleted Uranium Weapons or Gun Systems
Defined as: Companies and other entities that develop, manufacture, or produce a complete weapon or gun system incorporating depleted uranium as a dedicated military weapon material or functional component.
02Criterion
Dedicated Depleted Uranium Weapon Components and Penetrator Assemblies
Defined as: Companies and other entities that develop or produce depleted uranium penetrators, penetrator assemblies, liners, or other components specifically designed, significantly modified, or directly integrated for a military weapon or munition function.
03Criterion
Sale, Supply, or Contracted Delivery of Depleted Uranium Weapons
Defined as: Companies and other entities that sell, supply, broker, or deliver a depleted uranium weapon, gun system, or dedicated weapon component under a product-specific military or government contract.
04Criterion
Product-Specific Procurement, Delivery, or Trade Evidence for Depleted Uranium Weapons
Defined as: Companies and other entities identified in official procurement, contract, delivery, export, or trade records for an exact depleted uranium weapon, gun system, or dedicated component. Broad reporting or list membership alone is insufficient.
05Criterion
Production of Depleted Uranium Munitions, Projectiles, or Penetrators
Defined as: Companies and other entities that develop, manufacture, or assemble ammunition, projectiles, rounds, shells, penetrators, or other munitions containing depleted uranium for a military weapon function.
06Criterion
Manufacture of Depleted Uranium-Containing Projectiles and Penetrators
Defined as: Companies and other entities that develop or manufacture armour-piercing rounds, shells, projectiles, or penetrators containing depleted uranium.
07Criterion
Production or Assembly of Complete Depleted Uranium Munitions
Defined as: Companies and other entities that manufacture or assemble complete depleted uranium munitions, including the depleted uranium penetrator or payload and the associated munition configuration.
08Criterion
Sale, Supply, or Contracted Delivery of Depleted Uranium Munitions
Defined as: Companies and other entities that sell, supply, broker, export, or deliver depleted uranium ammunition under a product-specific military or government contract.
09Criterion
Supply of Depleted Uranium Munitions or Dedicated Components to Armed Forces
Defined as: Companies and other entities with verified direct supply of depleted uranium munitions, penetrators, or dedicated components to armed forces or another identified military end user.
10Criterion
Corroborated Procurement or Trade Evidence for Depleted Uranium Munitions
Defined as: Companies and other entities identified in official procurement, contract, delivery, export, or trade records for an exact depleted uranium munition or dedicated component, supported by product- and entity-specific evidence. List membership alone is insufficient.
11Criterion
Depleted Uranium Weapons or Gun Systems Without Ammunition Manufacture
Defined as: Companies and other entities that develop, manufacture, integrate, sell, or supply a complete weapon or gun system with a verified depleted uranium function even where they do not manufacture the associated ammunition.

Does not establish this activity on its own

Excluded on this basis alone

These circumstances do not establish this activity unless separate evidence also meets an inclusion criterion.

9 criteria

01Criterion
Delivery Platforms Without a Depleted Uranium Weapon or Munition Role
Defined as: Companies and other entities that manufacture tanks, aircraft, naval platforms, vehicles, or other delivery platforms capable of carrying or firing depleted uranium products but do not develop, produce, integrate, sell, or supply the depleted uranium weapon, munition, or dedicated component.
02Criterion
Generic System Integration Without a Depleted Uranium-Specific Deliverable
Defined as: Companies and other entities that install or integrate general weapon systems without a documented depleted uranium-specific product, material, component, or engineering deliverable.
03Criterion
Raw Depleted Uranium or Non-Weapon Components Without a Documented Weapon Nexus
Defined as: Companies and other entities that mine, recover, refine, process, store, or supply depleted uranium or general components without evidence of knowing, product-specific supply to a depleted uranium weapon or munition programme.
04Criterion
Historical-Only Depleted Uranium Weapon or Component Involvement
Defined as: Entities with verified past development, production, assembly, sale, supply, transfer, or programme involvement in depleted uranium weapons or dedicated components, where reliable evidence establishes that the qualifying activity has fully ceased, been divested, transferred, dismantled, terminated, or otherwise ended and no current qualifying involvement remains. Historical-only activity does not qualify as current involvement. Preserve the historical record separately with the activity period, effective cessation or transfer date, relevant entity, product, programme, facility, or contract, and supporting evidence. Absence of recent evidence alone is not sufficient to establish cessation.
05Criterion
Conventional or Non-Depleted-Uranium Weapons and Munitions
Defined as: Companies and other entities that produce weapons or ammunition using tungsten, lead, steel, or other materials without depleted uranium content.
06Criterion
Raw Depleted Uranium Supply Without Knowing Programme-Specific Weapon End Use
Defined as: Companies and other entities that provide raw or high-purity depleted uranium without evidence that the supply was knowingly made for an identified depleted uranium weapon, munition, penetrator, or dedicated component.
07Criterion
Generic Components Without Depleted Uranium Integration
Defined as: Companies and other entities that produce general-purpose casings, fuzes, propellants, explosives, barrels, vehicles, or other components without directly integrating depleted uranium or providing a dedicated depleted uranium function.
08Criterion
Historical-Only Depleted Uranium Munition or Dedicated-Component Involvement
Defined as: Entities with verified past production, assembly, sale, supply, transfer, or programme involvement in depleted uranium munitions, penetrators, or dedicated components, where reliable evidence establishes that the qualifying activity has fully ceased, been divested, transferred, dismantled, terminated, or otherwise ended and no current qualifying involvement remains. Historical-only activity does not qualify as current involvement. Preserve the historical record separately with the activity period, effective cessation or transfer date, relevant entity, product, programme, facility, or contract, and supporting evidence. Absence of recent evidence alone is not sufficient to establish cessation.
09Criterion
Disposal, Cleanup, Decommissioning, or Remediation Without Qualifying Depleted Uranium Weapon Involvement
Defined as: Companies and other entities whose role is limited to demilitarization, disposal, cleanup, environmental remediation, decommissioning, medical assessment, or waste management and that do not otherwise develop, produce, supply, transfer, stockpile, or use qualifying depleted uranium weapons or munitions.
