epresentative will act as the mediator between the IEC Classifiers and the USAR team or its sponsoring organisation. If any dispute arising cannot be amicably resolved at the time of the IEC, the USAR team may appeal the decision of the IEC team, in writing, and submit the appeal to the INSARAG Secretariat for consideration. The INSARAG Secretariat is the final arbiter in all disputes. In the unlikely event it is required, they will make the final decision on any matters resulting in a dispute. 7. IEC Recognition If a USAR team is successfully classified as a Heavy team, it is automatically given that the Team could respond as a Medium. However, a Medium team cannot use its classification as Medium team to respond as a Heavy team. If a Heavy team responds as a medium team, they are required to publically announce this on the VO and on their USAR Team Fact Sheet. 7.1 IEC Certificate Following the IEC, the USAR team will be issued a certificate stating the date the team was classified and the capacity (Medium; Heavy) achieved (Annex H). The certificate, signed by the INSARAG Secretariat, has a validity of 5 years. 7.2 IEC Patch Following successful completion of the IEC, the USAR team will be provided an electronic copy of the artwork of the IEC patch. The following conditions regarding the wearing of the IEC patch apply: • Black wordings over white background, and United Nations logo and circumference of patch to be in UN light blue - Pantone (PMS 279). If required, the INSARAG Secretariat can provide the USAR team with the contact details of its vendor; • It is recommended for teams to wear the patch sewn onto a velcro backing, on the left shoulder. If an organisation patch is already located in that position, then the IEC patch may be placed above that patch or above the left breast pocket; • A helmet sticker that complies with the design guidelines of the patch, is also permissible; • The design of the patch is not be modified in any way; • The size of the patch should be 75mm x 55 mm. 32 IEC Guidelines, 2011 Edition
7.3 INSARAG USAR Directory The USAR Team is required to submit an updated Directory of International SAR Teams form (Annex I) to the INSARAG Secretariat. The INSARAG Secretariat will then update the INSARAG USAR Directory. 7.4 RDC & OSOCC Banners The USAR team may also receive an official UN banner for the RDC and OSOCC. These banners are to be used if the team arrives prior to the UNDAC team and they are therefore required to establish these provisional facilities. 8. Obligations of Classified USAR Teams Following its successful classification, there are several obligations to which the USAR team is required to adhere. These include: • The ISG strongly discourages USAR teams from responding in any configuration other than that in which it was classified. The exception to this is when, based on the nature of the disaster, a Heavy team elects to respond as a Medium team. If a team responds at a capacity less than its classification, the following is relevant: o The USAR team management has a responsibility to clearly state their response capacity on the VO and modify their USAR Team Fact Sheet accordingly; o The USAR team is required to remove its IEC Patch so as to avoid confusion in the affected country (Unless a Heavy team will be responding in a Medium team configuration); o The INSARAG Secretariat will request a written report as to the details of why the team did not respond according to its classification (Unless a Heavy team will be responding in a Medium team configuration); o This report will then be tabled for review at the next ISG Meeting. • When responding to international disasters, ensure that the USAR team applies the INSARAG methodology; • Conduct an annual FIELDEX international USAR response FIELDEX; • The USAR team, or representatives of its sponsoring organisation, are required to be active participants in annual INSARAG activities e.g., Annual USAR Team Leaders Meeting, INSARAG Regional Group Meetings and the 33 IEC Guidelines, 2011 Edition
