CBRN

CBRN (pronounced C-BURN) is an initialism for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear.

It is commonly used worldwide to refer to incidents or weapons in which any of these four hazards have presented themselves. The term CBRN is a replacement for the cold war term NBC (nuclear, biological, and chemical), which had replaced the term ABC (atomic, biological, and chemical) that was used in the fifties. The addition of the R (for radiological) is a consequence of the "new" threat of a radiological weapon (also known as the "poor man's atomic bomb"). Since the start of the new millennium, a new term – CBRNe – was introduced as a replacement term for CBRN. The e in this term represents the enhanced (improvised) explosives threat.[1]

CBRN defense (CBRND) is used in reference to CBRN passive protection, contamination avoidance, and CBRN mitigation.

CBRN weapons/agents are often referred to as weapons of mass destruction (WMD). However, this is not entirely correct. Although CBRNe agents often cause mass destruction, this is not necessarily the case. Terrorist use of CBRNe agents may cause a limited number of casualties, but a large terrorizing and disruption of society. Terrorist use of CBRNe agents, intended to cause terror instead of mass casualties, is therefore often referred to as weapons of mass disruption.[2]

A CBRN incident differs from a hazardous material incident in both effect scope (i.e., CBRNE can be a mass casualty situation) and in intent. CBRN incidents are responded to under the assumption that they are deliberate, malicious acts with the intention to kill, sicken, and/or disrupt society. Evidence preservation and perpetrator apprehension are of greater concern with CBRN incidents than with HAZMAT incidents.

Why CEIA

CEIA has been working since the 1960s and is now the leader in the development and production of metal detectors for industrial and security applications as well as for ground search.

The solutions offered by CEIA include detection equipment and networking software which allow effective screening of people entering sensitive areas, at the inside of buildings and outdoors, with the purpose of preventing the entry of metallic weapons.

The available/suggested models use latest generation electronic technology and comply with the most stringent requirements for security and operational effectiveness and offer state of the art performance:

A wide range of user selectable sensitivity settings;
Detection of conventional and non-conventional weapons;
Increased throughput;
High discrimination of personal metal objects;
Increased immunity against outside interferences;
High reliability and durability.

The high degree of specialization of our company, achieved through constant study, research and engineering in the areas of metal detection technology, international Security Standards and the operating conditions encountered in the field, allows us to efficiently and quickly respond to the various needs with a range of highly developed and certified products.

Given our vast experience we can also react with dedicated solutions and to special requirements and we can control all the steps from design to production.

Over the years, CEIA he past has been selected by the most important public and private institutions throughout the world to protect their most sensitive access points.
