American National Standard for the Performance of Portable Transmission X-Ray Systems for Use in Improvised Explosive Device and Hazardous Device Identification
Also Known As:
IEEE/ANSI N42.55-2013 is an American National Standard for the Performance of Portable Transmission X-Ray Systems for Use in Improvised Explosive Device and Hazardous Device Identification. The main objective of this standard is to outline the necessary requirements and testing methodologies for portable transmission x-ray systems used in disarming and rendering safe operations of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and hazardous devices. The standard specifically focuses on systems that are capable of providing still and/or video images.
It is important to note that this standard does not cover cabinet x-ray systems commonly used for security screening purposes, as well as backscatter x-ray systems. The standard aims to ensure that portable transmission x-ray systems meet the necessary performance criteria and undergo proper testing to ensure their effectiveness in identifying and disarming IEDs and hazardous devices. Compliance with this standard helps ensure the safety and efficiency of operations involving these specialized x-ray systems.
