Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use -- Particular requirements for cabinet x-ray systems
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
1.1.1 Equipment included in scope
Replacement:
Replace the text with the following:
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.
1.1.2 Equipment excluded from scope
Addition:
Add the following new items to the list:
equipment intended to apply X-radiation to humans or animals;
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.
1.2.1 Aspects included in scope
Addition:
Add the following text at 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.
