Optosecurity Inc., a manufacturer of threat detection technology, has announced that after the testing by ECAC, its OptoScreener has been certified on a number of host checkpoint X-ray scanner platforms and conforms to all criterion allowing for Type C operations. Type C compliance means that multiple liquid containers are screened with no requirement for containers to be opened. With the gradual relaxing of liquid restrictions surrounding passenger cabin baggage within the EU commencing on29th April 2011, (culminating with a full lifting of restrictions by29th April 2013), the OptoScreener enables single view X-ray platforms to automatically detect liquid threats in real time. Airports throughout the EU are looking for technology solutions that will enable them not only to comply with new regulations on liquids but that will also offer a cost effective way of screening liquids without affecting throughput, or significantly altering their existing operations. Optosecurity develops security software solutions for the transportation and critical infrastructure markets. The OptoScreener includes the XMS Suite to enhance X-ray systems with advanced liquid threat detection. [www.optosecurity.com]
