Smiths Detection receives certification for its Automated Prohibited Items Detection System

Smiths Detection is pleased to announce that its iCMORE Automated Prohibited Items Detection Systems (APIDS) algorithm has received official approval from the Netherlands’ National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV). The algorithm underwent rigorous testing, verification, and validation by the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), an ECAC-certified test center.

iCMORE APIDS leverages AI technology to automatically detect a wide range of prohibited items at airport security checkpoints. By scanning bags as they pass through CT security screening machines, the algorithm enhances security while providing crucial support to security personnel, leading to a faster and more streamlined experience for passengers.

Cymoril Metivier, Global Director Digital at Smiths Detection, commented, “This certification highlights our commitment to excellence, offering unmatched capabilities that meet the highest certification standards. It sets a new industry benchmark as we continue to be the trusted partner for advanced detection solutions. Our focus remains on delivering innovative technologies that elevate passenger safety, ensure compliance with evolving security standards, and protect critical aviation operations.”

A letter from Robert Moerland, Head of Civil Aviation Security at NCTV, confirmed that the national certification test showed the APIDS software met both the strict criteria of APIDS Standard 1 and the additional Dutch national detection requirements for APID software.

This approval confirms that the Smiths Detection APIDS algorithm meets the EU APIDS Standard 1 requirements, as outlined in Attachment 12-M of EU Decision C(2015) 8005, as well as the additional Dutch national detection standards specified in the “national additional detection requirements for security equipment.”
