Part 2—Class Licence

6 Class Licence

(1) This instrument authorises a screening authority or a screening officer to operate a body scanner for the purpose of carrying out screening of persons at a security controlled airport, subject to the conditions set out in section 7. (2) This instrument authorises: (a) a registered training organisation; (b) a person employed by or contracted to a registered training organisation; to operate a body scanner for the purpose of training screening officers, subject to the conditions set out in sections 7 and 8.

Note: A body scanner operated under this instrument will operate in parts of the radiofrequency spectrum expected to be used by other radiocommunications devices. A radiocommunications receiver tuned to the body scanner’s radiocommunications transmitter will not be afforded protection from interference caused by other radiocommunications devices.

7 Conditions for operation by an authorised person

(1) An authorised person must operate the body scanner in: (a) the frequency range from 24.25 GHz to 30 GHz; or (b) the frequency range from 67 GHz to 80 GHz. (2) An authorised person must operate the body scanner at a radiated power that does not exceed: (a) if the body scanner is operated in the frequency range from 24.25 GHz to 30 GHz – a maximum instantaneous EIRP of -10 dBm and a maximum power spectral density of -10 dBm per 4 MHz; (b) if the body scanner is operated in the frequency range from 67 GHz to 80 GHz – a maximum instantaneous EIRP of 7 dBm and a maximum power spectral density of 7 dBm per 1 MHz. (3) An authorised person must operate the body scanner indoors at a security controlled airport. (4) An authorised person must not operate the body scanner if the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the body scanner, or by a group of body scanners that includes the body scanner, exceeds the general public exposure limits specified in the ARPANSA Standard. (5) An authorised person must not operate a body scanner if its operation, whether on its own or in operation with one or more other transmitters, would cause interference to the operation of radiocommunications services.

8 Additional condition for operation by registered training organisation

A registered training organisation, or a person employed by or contracted to a registered training organisation, must not operate the body scanner unless there is in force a written agreement between the registered training organisation and a screening authority that requires the registered training organisation to provide training as part of a VET course to: (a) a screening officer employed by the screening authority or another screening authority; or
