IEC 62709:2024 PRV
Pre release version
Radiation protection instrumentation - Security screening of humans - Measuring the imaging performance of X-ray systems
Abstract
This Final Draft International Standard is an up to 6 weeks' pre-release of the official publication. It is available for sale during its voting period: 2024-03-29 to 2024-05-10. By purchasing this FDIS now, you will automatically receive, in addition, the final publication.
IEC 62709:2024 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 objective is to provide standard methods of measuring and reporting imaging quality characteristics that enable system manufacturers, potential system users and other interested parties to:
a) Establish a consistent indicator of the expected technical performance of screening systems used for the inspection of individuals. Such technical performance testing complements explicit detection testing and evaluation. In this document "detection" refers to items in an image.
b) Provide repeatable and verifiable imaging performance data that can be used to compare systems from different vendors.
c) Establish a baseline that can be used over time to calibrate the system or detect any performance degradation. (It is not intended that the entire test method be employed for daily quality assurance testing.)
d) Establish minimum acceptable performance requirements for the systems described above.
