Addition: Add the two following new paragraphs at the end of the subclause: Equipment covered by this document can be both PROTECTED EQUIPMENT 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 prevent operator access to the radiation beam, during generation of X-radiation. These cabinet X-ray systems are used in industrial, commercial, and public environments, for example, to inspect materials, to analyse 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: - equipment intended to be used within a shielded room which excludes personnel during operation; - equipment intended to be used with separate portable or temporary shielding; - 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, ...
