Description

Purpose: The purpose of this document is to formally provide information regarding the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Air Cargo Screening Qualification Test (ASCQT) process for Original Equipment Manufacturers interested in listing their air cargo screening devices on the TSA Air Cargo Screening Technology List (ACSTL). Background: Air cargo that is transported on passenger aircraft in the United States must be screened commensurate to that of passenger checked baggage, as described in section 1602(a) of the 9/11 Act. As part of its regulatory responsibilities, TSA has established and maintains a qualification process whereby screening equipment is tested and evaluated to ensure it meets the rigorous standards mandated by the U.S. Congress. The TSA will place devices that successfully pass the qualification test activities onto the Air Cargo Screening Technology List (ACSTL) for regulated parties to use when purchasing or leasing air cargo screening equipment.�� Key Updates: This RFI incorporates the following updates: 1) inclusion of Visual Image inspection devices as a technology qualification group, which expands the types of technologies that were previously listed in the X-Ray qualification group; 2) addition of �Fast Parcels� as a commodity type; 3) descriptions of high-level requirements applicable to all ACSTL technology qualification groups; and 4) expanded clarification of Explosive Detection System (EDS) qualification process steps.
