Concerned with the manufacturing of radiographic and mammographic cassettes for use with radiographic screens in medical practice. Not applicable to special cassettes, ie with built-in anti-scatter grids or simultaneous tomography. Ensures that x-ray equipment can be used with radiographic cassettes from different manufacturers.

This International Standard deals with the manufacture of radiographic cassettes and mammographic cassettes intended to be used with radiographic screens in medical practice. This standard does not apply to special cassettes (such as cassettes with built-in anti-scatter grids, cassettes for simultaneous tomography). It is provided to ensure that X-ray equipment can be operated with radiographic cassettes of different manufacturers.
