IONSCAN 600 is Smiths new model explosives
trace detection for aviation security
Smiths Detection’s IONSCAN 600 has passed certification testing
for the explosives trace detection system by Transportation
Security Administration (TSA). Certification testing is the first
of three phases in TSA’s overall qualification process and is
necessary in order to be placed on TSA’s Qualified Products List
(QPL) for explosives trace detection equipment. The certification
testing represents a milestone for the new model of the Smiths
trace detector, which also meets The European Civil Aviation
Conference (ECAC) standard for passenger and cargo screening and
Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) standard for aviation
screening.
The IONSCAN 600 is a next generation, explosives trace detector
used to detect and identify the presence of threats invisible to
the naked eye. It is used to test surfaces of hands, luggage,
packages, clothing, and cargo for explosives. The system also
provides operational advantages.
Neil Sandhoff, Vice President of Sales and Business Development;
Smiths Detection Inc. said: “Regulators need to continuously
respond to address emerging threats and work with industry to stay
ahead of terrorism. TSA laboratory certification, along with
meeting other international regulatory standards for passenger and
cargo screening, shows Smiths Detection’s continued investment to
help protect the traveling public. With this certification IONSCAN
600 is ideally suited for installation at all major airports
outside the United States (U.S.) helping them meet the most
stringent explosive detection requirements.”
Lab certification of detection performance ensures the system
meets detection related requirements for systems, which is a
prerequisite for deployment at US airports.
