Scope

GB 12899-2018 is the English-translated version of 手持式金属探测器通用技术规范.

GB 12899-2018 is the Chinese national specification for hand-held metal detectors used to find metal weapons and metal contraband.

It defines the terms of the trade, among them probe, probing axis, detection base, probing distance and detection mode, and then sets the technical requirements the instrument must meet, the test methods, the inspection rules, the marking, signs, labels and packaging, and the technical documents supplied with the equipment.

Four annexes give the code, material and dimensions of the test objects, the movement posture used when passing them, the layout of an automatic test system and the reference levels of radiated magnetic induction.

Manufacturers, testing centres and users work from it, and detectors for other purposes may refer to it. It replaces GB 12899-2003, was issued on 19 November 2018 and has applied since 1 December 2019.

Foreword

The full technical content of this standard is mandatory.

This standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.

This standard replaces GB 12899-2003 "General Technical Specifications for Handheld Metal Detectors". Compared with GB 12899-2003, mainly the technical changes are as follows.

--- Revised the normative reference document (see Chapter 2, Chapter 2 of the 2003 edition);

--- Added the definition of "probe" (see 3.5);

--- Added the definition of "probing axis" (see 3.6);

--- Modified the definition of "detection base" (see 3.7, 3.6 of the 2003 edition);

--- Change the "test plane" to "probe plane" and change the definition (see 3.8, 3.5 of the 2003 edition);

--- Modified the definition of "probing distance" (see 3.9, 3.7 of the 2003 edition);

--- Change the "detection method" to "detection mode" and change the definition (see 3.10, 3.8 of the 2003 edition);

--- Change the "detection level" to "probe level" and change the definition (see 3.11, 2003 version 3.9);

--- Added the definition of "test substance" (see 3.12);

--- Added the definition of "automatic test system" (see 3.13);

--- Technical requirements have been greatly adjusted and refined, with special emphasis on the simulation of basic functional testing (see Chapter 4, Chapter 4 of the 2003 edition);

--- Increased the detection distance requirements of the test objects T2, T3 (see Table 1);

--- Adjust the logo to Chapter 7 (see 7.1, 4.4 of the 2003 edition);

--- Added medium size alarm test object T2, large size alarm test object T3 (see Appendix A);

--- Added schematic diagram of automatic test system (see Appendix C);

--- Increased the reference level of radiation magnetic induction and formula derivation (see Appendix D).

1 Scope

3 Terms and definitions

The following terms and definitions apply to this document.

3.1 Handheld metal detector

A hand-held metal detecting device. The device can detect hidden metal items that exceed a defined amount.

3.2 Positive alarm

When a metal object is reached or exceeded, the hand-held metal detector emits an alarm signal with a specified display and sound.

3.3 Alarm failure

The hand-held metal detector has no alarm for metal objects that meet or exceed a defined amount.

3.4 False alarm

The hand-held metal detector erroneously alerts the item that has not been tested or that there is no alarm.
