scope:

This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows: 1.1 Scope 1.1.1 Equipment included in scope Replacement: Replace the first paragraph with the following new text: This part 2 of IEC 61010 specifies particular safety requirements for cabinet X-ray systems, which fall under any of the categories a), b) or c) of the IEC 61010-1. Equipment covered by this standard can be both PROTECTED or PARTIALLY PROTECTED EQUIPMENT, with X-ray generator voltage up to 500 kV. 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. 1.1.2 Equipment excluded from scope Addition: Add the following new items to the list: aa) equipment intended to apply X-radiation to humans or animals; bb) equipment incorporating an X-ray tube but not incorporating complete shielding against X-radiation hazards, such as: 1) equipment intended to be used within a shielded room which excludes personnel during operation; 2) equipment intended to be used with separate portable or temporary shielding; 3) equipment intended to produce an emerging beam of X-radiation. 1.2 Object 1.2.1 Aspects included in scope Addition: Add the following new text to the end of the first paragraph: 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.
