SUMMARY OF X-RAY DEVICES

The following table summarizes the classes of

X-

ray devices recognized by ANSI. For the enclosed

beam, exempt shielded, and cabinet systems,

access is controlled by enclosing the

X-rays

within a chamber or cabinet. The other systems

can have potentially hazardous dose rates outside

the system housing, so access must be controlled

by a combination of locked doors, posting,

warning lights, and procedures.
