SmartCheck meets ANSI standard N43.17. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a private organization that develops consensus standards by chartering subcommittees of experts. The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) can use the standards written by an ANSI committee to classify a system that does not fall into one of the main categories specified in the mandatory standards. The ANSI standard N43.17 “Radiation Safety for Personnel Security Screening Systems Using X-rays” is one such standard. The standard covers dose to subject, interlocks, operational procedures, information to provide to subjects, training for operators as well as other information. Does SmartCheck work on baggage? No, the system was designed to scan people.
