Walk-Through Metal Detectors for Use in Concealed Weapon and Contraband Detection (NIJ Standard-0601.01)

This document establishes performance requirements and testing methods for active walk-through metal detectors used to find metal weapons or metal contraband carried on a person or concealed by a nonmetal object. Purchasing agents and procurement officials can use the test methods to determine whether a product meets the requirements of the standard, have the tests conducted on their behalf by a qualified testing laboratory, reference this standard in procurement documents, and require that equipment offered for purchase meet the requirements. This standard supersedes NILECJ–STD–0601.00, Walk-Through Metal Detectors for Use in Weapons Detection (June 1974).
