1 INTRODUCTION
This document describes the minimum mandatory requirements for 9 x 19 mm calibre ammunition developed for: Rikspolisstyrelsen – Swedish National Police Board.
It is noted that there are dimensional differences between commercial and military cartridge chambers and ammunition and hence different calibre notations are occasionally used. The intent however is that all ammunition, whether conforming to CIP, SAAMI or NATO specifications, can be safely and reliably used in the service weapons. To simplify and shorten the notation, designation 9mm is used in this document.
This document applies to the following ammunition types with requirement deviations described below:
Type C - training ammunition with non-toxic primer and total metal jacketed lead core bulletType D - training ammunition with non-toxic primer and frangible bullet
These service ammunition selection criteria are based on recognised Nordic legal principles that define the use of force guidelines. The means used and harm caused shall be in reasonable proportion to the objective and interests being protected. Any police action must be reasonable and shall be performed without causing greater damage or harm than is necessary to accomplish the task. Any actions must be justifiable in relation to the importance of the task and overall assessment of the situation. The taking of a human life cannot be an objective.
It must be recognised that any situation justifying the use of lethal force is an extreme one and that law enforcement officials have an obligation to protect first the non-involved bystanders, themselves and lastly the offenders from unnecessary and unjustified danger and harm.
It can therefore be said that:- it is unacceptable to cause unnecessary danger to the innocent by using overpenetrating or
severely ricocheting bullets;- it is unacceptable to demand a police officer to risk his or her health or life by using
inaccurate, unreliable or ineffective bullets;- it is unacceptable to cause the offender more severe injuries than are justifiable and
necessary to stop unlawful activities;- a firearm is a lethal weapon. Both using and not using it may lead to loss of life although
killing a human being cannot be an objective. The use of a firearm is sometimes necessary and unavoidable in order to avoid more serious consequences;
- exceptional circumstances may justify the use of special equipment.

2 REQUIREMENT CATEGORIES AND PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT
2.1 Evaluation process
The evaluation process consists of three separate phases.
Phase one: All tenders will be inspected fora) completeness of documentation,b) compliance with the mandatory technical requirements to be verified on provided
documentation,c) price and delivery conditions.
A tender failing in phase one will not be directly eligible for phase two.
Phase two: Inspection and measurement of ammunition samples delivered for testing. Key tests of functional reliability, precision, waterproofing, bullet stability and velocity. A tender failing any mandatory requirements in phase two will not be eligible for phase three.
Phase three: Tactical requirements in terminal ballistics will be completed on the contenders passing phase two.
The performance data obtained during evaluation process are used to establish the acceptance criteria of contractual deliveries.
2.1.1 Procedural rules
If any ammunition fails to pass a test, the test equipment is checked for possible defect. If a defect is found, it is corrected and the ammunition in question is granted a new test.
If any measured value deviates significantly from other measured values in the same test, the value may, but does not have to be excluded upon discretion of the Principal. Such a value should, however, be at least 3 standard deviations, calculated including the suspect value, from the mean.
Any measurement uncertainty defined for each test will be used for tenderer’s advantage.

Short reference weapon
SIG Sauer P226 112
Before being used for evaluation testing, the weapons are thoroughly cleaned, inspected and test fired to ascertain that they are faultless. The following measurements are taken and compared against manufacturer specifications:
headspace with CIP go and no-go gauges barrel land diameter (small caliber) measured from chamber and muzzle end visual inspection of barrel straightness recoil spring force constant (standard recoil spring shall be used) firing pin percussion energy firing pin protrusion and concentricity magazine spring length magazine lip gap
Proof barrel specifications are intended for the ammunition manufacturer who must supply the required performance data obtained using those barrels. The proof barrels must be NATO MOPI compliant as specified in section 18.

The proof barrel used in evaluation tests is 150 mm C.I.P. barrel. For velocity and precision tests the transducer vent is blocked to prevent case puncture and any leakage of chamber pressure.
