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.
