Title (German)

Strahlenschutz-Messgeräte - Röntgensysteme für die Personenkontrolle bezüglich Sicherheit und des Mitführens unerlaubter Gegenstände (IEC 62463:2010)

Overview

Personnel X-ray screening assemblies are used to examine persons in order to detect objects such as weapons, explosives, smuggled or stolen items such as drugs or diamonds. Three types of X-ray screening systems are currently in use. These are backscatter systems, transmission systems and combination backscatter/transmission systems. With backscatter systems the X-rays are used to detect objects hidden under or within the person's clothing. With transmission systems objects swallowed or hidden in body cavities may be detected. Combined devices can be used to get both pieces of information simultaneously. The standard specifies basic requirements and general characteristics, general test procedures, radiation characteristics, electrical characteristics, environmental influences, mechanical influences. In particular the standard addresses the design requirements as they relate to the radiation protection of the people being screened, people who are in the vicinity of the equipment and the operators. The standard does not address the requirements for the quality of the object detection. The responsible committee is GUK 967.3 "Strahlenschutzdosimeter" ("Radiation protection devices") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE, Joint Committee with the Radiology Standards Committee (NAR).
