Nuctech-led international standard on millimetre-wave systems for security screening of humans has been officially released

On October 3, IEC 63391:2024 - Active millimetre-wave systems for security screening of humans - General requirements was officially released for implementation. This international standard initiative is led by Nuctech and supported by the United States, Russia, Germany, and Ukraine. This is also the third international standard for which Nuctech led the compilation.

 

In recent years, various industries have seen a sustained and rapid growth in demand for human security screening. Against this background, the safe and fast millimetre-wave security screening system has quickly come to the spotlight for human security screening. The release of this new international standard not only fills the gap in millimetre-wave security screening systems of the world and promotes technological advances, but also effectively facilitates the wider application of millimetre-wave devices for security screening of humans in scenarios and locations such as civil aviation airports, customs, public security agencies, the procuratorate, judicial courts, and important gatherings and events, achieving a higher level of overall industrial performance.

 

Thoroughly following the corporate standardization development strategy and focusing on scientific and technological innovation and standardization, Nuctech has kept developing millimetre-wave technology and optimizing the core technology and solutions to address industrial challenges with in-depth integration of industry, academia, research and application. Since the project's establishment in 2020, it has taken 4 years for this international standard to be released. Most of the team members preparing this standard come from Shenmu Technology. This team has successfully completed all the strict control steps, including drafting, comment solicitation, and reviews. Based on millimetre-wave holographic imaging technology and ATR (Automatic Target Recognition) technology, this standard specifies the general technical requirements of devices for human security screening and serves as a benchmark for the design, manufacture, inspection and type test of such devices.

 

The release of this international standard showcases China's leading position in millimeter-wave systems for the security screening of humans. By far, Nuctech has contributed to the release of 7 international standards, 3 of which were released in 2024 alone (2 led and 1 participated by Nuctech). With such fruitful achievements in international standards, Nuctech has given full play to its role as a model and leader in the security inspection industry, which will further raise China's international status in the security inspection industry.
