This part of IEC 61010 specifies particular safety requirements for CABINET X-RAY SYSTEMS.
A CABINET X-RAY SYSTEM is a system that contains an X-ray tube installed in a cabinet which,
independently of existing architectural structures except the floor on which it may be placed,
is intended to contain at least that portion of a material being irradiated, provide radiation
attenuation, and exclude personnel from the interior during generation of X-radiation.
These CABINET X-RAY SYSTEMS are used in industrial, commercial, and public environments,
for example, to inspect materials, to analyze materials, and to screen baggage.
This part of IEC 61010 specifies requirements for the design and methods of construction of
CABINET X-RAY SYSTEMS to provide adequate protection for OPERATORS, bystanders, trained
service personnel, and the surrounding area against unintentionally-emitted X-radiation and
from mechanical HAZARDS related to their conveyors.
