Test mining definition
Test mining means an in situ testing of the integrated system of all equipment and [all related] process steps ([e.g. including collector, raiser and release techniques) for Exploitation [activities] in a Contract Area under [appropriate] [such] technical, spatial and temporal conditions which [allows the ”Ttest Mmining” for the provision of] [provides] evidence to support the information provided by an applicant in its application for a Plan of Work for Exploitation, and to assist the Commission [and the Council] in its evaluation of the application [against the criteria contained in Regulation 13 and 15.][to demonstrate that the proposed mining equipment is technically and operationally appropriate, and that assumptions regarding impacts on the Marine Environment is effectively protected from harmful effects, can be validated. Data collected during test mining can be used to validate numerical models and predict cumulative effects, in accordance with Article 145 of the Convention. “Test mining” should also be undertaken in order to optimize the integrated system with regard to its potential effects on the Marine Environment.]
Test mining means an in situ testing of the integrated system of all relevant equipment (e.g. collector, raiser and release techniques) and process steps (e.g. collector, raiser and release techniques) for an exploitation activities in a contract area under such technical, spatial and temporal conditions which allows the ”test mining” to provide for the provision of evidence to support the information provided by an applicant
Test mining means a[n in situ] testing of the integrated system of all relevant equipment (e.g. collector, raiser and release techniques) and all related process steps for an exploitation activities under such technical, spatial and temporal conditions (which allows to provide evidence to ensure that the proposed mining equipment is technically appropriate, that the Marine Environment is effectively protected from harmful effects, including the cumulative effects as far as possible, in accordance with Article 145 of the Convention and that the effects could be monitored.)
