Requirements and standards

Here are the special requirements for cabinet x-ray inspection systems:

cabinet designing:
The cabinet must have metal walls of suitable thickness.
It should have metal doors with locks that can prevent access to X-rays.
It should have transparent windows with layers of film that can filter X-rays.
It must have a cooling system with the ability to adjust the temperature.
Irradiation:
Irradiation should be done in a short time and the maximum allowed X-ray dose should be followed.
If X-rays are sent to the outside of the cabinet, their maximum dose should be followed.
It must have a dose control device, which can accurately control the X-ray dose.
Safety:
It must have a fire extinguishing system.
It must have an audio and visual warning system that will announce in case of an accident.
It must have a fire extinguisher with proper properties to reduce fire in the place.
It should have an emergency system to turn off the x-rays in case of an error.
These requirements are only part of the special requirements for cabinet X-ray inspection systems. For the safe and optimal use of these systems, health, safety and environmental requirements must be met.
