BS IEC 62709:2014 PDF

1   Scope and object This International Standard applies to security screening systems that utilize X-ray radiation and are used to inspect people who are not inside vehicles, containers, or enclosures. Specifically, this standard applies to systems used to detect objects carried on or within the body of the individual being inspected. This standard does not include requirements related to electromagnetic compatibility, radiological, electrical and mechanical safety. These requirements are covered in IEC 62463:2010. The following types of systems are included in the scope of this standard:

• Systems designated as fixed, portal, transportable, mobile or gantry .

• Systems employing detection of primary radiation , backscattered radiation , forward-scattered radiation , (see Annex D) or some combination of these modalities to form two-dimensional X-ray images.

• Systems that are primarily imaging but that also may have complementary features such as material discrimination, automatic active or passive detection alerts. This standard will not address how to test these complementary features.
