X.A.X.001 | Explosives or detonator detection equipment, both bulk and trace based, consisting of an automated device, or combination of devices for automated decision making to detect the presence of different types of explosives, explosive residue, or detonators; and components, other than those specified in the CML or in Regulation (EU) 2021/821: a. Explosives detection equipment for “automated decision making” to detect and identify bulk explosives utilizing, but not limited to, X-ray (e.g., computed tomography, dual energy, or coherent scattering), nuclear (e.g., thermal neutron analysis, pulse fast neutron analysis, pulse fast neutron transmission spectroscopy, and gamma resonance absorption), or electromagnetic techniques (e.g., quadropole resonance and dielectrometry); b. Not used; c. Detonator detection equipment for automated decision making to detect and identify initiation devices (e.g. detonators, blasting caps) utilizing, but not limited to, X-ray (e.g. dual energy or computed tomography) or electromagnetic techniques. Note: Explosives or detonation detection equipment in X.A.X.001 includes equipment for screening people, documents, baggage, other personal effects, cargo and/or mail. Technical Notes: 1. “Automated decision making” is the ability of the equipment to detect explosives or detonators at the design or operator- selected level of sensitivity and provide an automated alarm when explosives or detonators at or above the sensitivity level are detected. 2. This entry does not control equipment that depends on operator interpretation of indicators such as inorganic/organic color mapping of the items(s) being scanned. 3. Explosives and detonators include commercial charges and devices controlled by X.C.VIII.004 and X.C.IX.006 and energetic materials controlled by 1C011, 1C111 and 1C239 (30).
