Description

DESCRIPTION: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking to identify companies who can perform tests according to the standards listed below for the two different types of devices described herein. Responses should also include a cost breakdown for each device as a function of the number of units tested. The following list contains international and/or US standards and/or test methods for various parameters (such as environmental tolerance, electromagnetic compatibility, and safety). These standards and/or test methods will be applied to two different devices. One device is the hand-held metal detector and the other is the walk-through metal detector. These detectors are used, for example, at airport and courthouse security checkpoints. The purpose of testing these devices is to determine whether their detection performance, as described in NIJ-Std-0601.01 and NIJ-Std-0602.01, is affected by the below-listed tests. The Standards listed below will apply as indicated for hand-held (HH) detectors, walk-through (WT) detectors, or both (B). List of test specifications{Dave, I think it would be better to tabulate this list, to improve readability}: ANSI S1.4, 1971, American National Standards Institute, Specifications for General Purpose Sound Level Meters.
