Security Dogs Blog by DiagNose

On June 30^th 2010, the EU Commission published EU Regulation No. 573/2010 which is an amending Regulation for EU No. 185/2010.

This new update lays down detailed measures for implementation of the common basic standards on aviation security and especially the standards concerning the usage of explosive detection dogs (EDD).

Two very important updates that we have found in the amended Regulation concern passenger screening and hold baggage screening (HBS).

The EU now allows the usage of explosive detection dogs for both the above tasks, with the following permissions:

• Passenger screening – EDDs are permitted as a method operated together with the normal hand search. This permission is perfectly suited to the model offered by DiagNose, called “DogOnLine”
• HBS – Hold baggage screening by dogs is allowed as a primary, stand-alone method.
