The organization has the primary goals of achieving the efficient development and implementation of Spanish and European Union regulations surrounding the arms trade and urging the attainment of European harmonization regarding the C.I.P. Testing Bench system. The C.I.P. ensures that every civil firearm and all ammunition sold in all 14 C.I.P. member states are safe for end users. To achieve this, the firearms and ammunition are all professionally proofed at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses before they can be sold to consumers. We believe C.I.P. Testing Benches should be used by Proof Houses in all C.I.P. Member States and those Benches should integrate their respective databases into those held by the Member States and sector operators (such as Inceptor Ammunition).
