Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - Part 2-091: Particular requirements for cabinet X-ray systems (IEC 61010-2-091:2019)

EN-IEC 61010-2-091 specifies particular safety requirements for cabinet X-ray systems, which fall under any of categories a), b) or c) below. Equipment covered by this document can be both PROTECTED EQUIPMENT or PARTIALLY PROTECTED EQUIPMENT, with X-ray generator voltage up to 500 kV. 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 prevent operator access to the radiation beam, during generation of X-radiation. These cabinet X-ray systems are used in industrial, commercial, and public environments, for example, to inspect materials, to analyse materials, and to screen baggage.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
FOR MEASUREMENT, CONTROL, AND LABORATORY USE –

Part 2-091: Particular requirements for cabinet X-ray systems

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses
arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61010-2-091 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 66:
Safety of measuring, control and laboratory equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. It constitutes a
technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant changes from the first edition, as well as numerous
other changes:
• The scope of the document has been clarified and limited to equipment up to 500 kV.

INTRODUCTION
IEC 61010-1 specifies the safety requirements that are generally applicable to all equipment
within its scope. For certain types of equipment, the requirements of IEC 61010-1 and its
amendments will be supplemented or modified by the special requirements of one, or more
than one, particular Part 2s of the standard, which are to be read in conjunction with the Part 1
requirements.
This document has been prepared, based on IEC 61010-1:2010 including its
Amendment 1:2016, to specify additional safety requirements for cabinet X-ray systems. It
provides additional guidance for construction and assessment of extra high voltage circuits,
mechanical HAZARDS and ionizing radiation HAZARDS which can be present in this type of
equipment.
This document has been written to provide protection against both radiation HAZARDS from the
direct X-ray beam and any scattered X-radiation caused by reflections of the X-ray beam on
any part of the equipment or on the sample subjected to X-rays.
The minimum safety requirements specified in this document are considered to provide for a
practical degree of safety in the operation of cabinet X-ray systems.
