This document 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 document applies to systems used to detect objects carried on or within the body of the individual being inspected.
The following types of systems are included in the scope of this document:
– Systems designated as mobile or fixed.
– 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 document does not address how to test these complementary features.
