This document applies to security screening systems that utilize active millimetre-wave (MMW) imaging to inspect persons who are not inside vehicles, containers, or enclosures. Specifically, this document applies to systems used to detect objects carried on the body of the individual being screened at a security checkpoint. This document applies to systems that screen people using radiation in the range between 3 GHz and 150 GHz (100 mm to 2 mm).

This document specifies the technical requirements, test methods, and signage of the active MMW systems for security screening of humans.

This document does not specify minimum or baseline requirements of image quality, automated threat recognition (ATR) performance, nor does it specify a minimum detection time.
