Thruvision upbeat on UK testing of WalkTHRU screening system

(Sharecast News) - Thruvision said on Friday that its 8108 WalkTHRU security screening system had been tested using the UK government National Protective Security Authority's Discriminative Threat Detection Systems Test Method. The company said the results demonstrated capability for screening people without requiring them to remove clothing or personal items for mass-casualty threats, although the testing does not operate on a pass-or-fail basis.

The NPSA said it was confident Thruvision had followed the test method correctly and that the reported results accurately reflected system performance, while stressing that it does not endorse or approve individual products.

The 8108 WalkTHRU system is designed for high-footfall locations and can screen up to 1,800 people per hour.

At 1418 BST, shares in Thruvision Group were up 3.7% at 0.7p.
