This document establishes standards for the technical performance of cabinet x-ray imaging systems used for screening at security checkpoints and other inspection venues. Included are all x-ray systems designed primarily for the inspection of baggage at airline, railroad, and bus terminals, and in similar facilities. An xray tube used within a shielded part of a building, or x-ray equipment that may temporarily or occasionally incorporate portable shielding, is not considered to be a cabinet x-ray system.
