26. 专家组进一步审议了为侦测以及爆炸前和爆炸后识别和跟踪目的在爆炸物标识方面的技术和研究现况。虽然建议采取强制性的国内或国际要求目前看来尚不可行，但专家组认为，标识今后很可能被用作一种预防措施、一种调查工具和一种潜在的威慑。专家组注意到在这方面正在进行的研究，并建议各国在技术上可行和经济上可承受的情况下考虑采取标识要求，这种要求必要时可加以调整以保持与科学和工业发展同步。
26. The Group of Experts further considered the current state of technology and research into the marking of explosives for the purpose of detection as well as pre- and post-detonation identification and tracing. While it was not seen as currently feasible to recommend that mandatory domestic or international requirements be adopted, the Group was of the view that marking offered considerable future potential as a preventive measure, an investigative aid and as a potential deterrent. It noted that research was ongoing in that area and recommended that States consider adopting marking requirements, if and when shown to be technically feasible and economically viable, and that such requirements be adjusted as necessary to keep pace with scientific and industrial developments.
