IEC 60532:2010适用于安装的剂量率计、警告组件和监测器，用于防止或减轻核电厂/核设施设计基准内的轻微放射性释放或燃料的轻微降解，以及在涉及或导致核电厂/核设施中的放射性释放或辐射暴露风险的事件期间或之后，警告人员或确保其安全。在IEC 61226中，该设备通常被分类为“A”或“B”或“C”类或“未分类”。与上一版相关的主要技术变更是根据1996年以来发布的IEC标准的要求进行的更新。

IEC 60532:2010 applies to installed dose rate meters, warning assemblies and monitors that are used to prevent or mitigate a minor radioactive release, or minor degradation of fuel, within the nuclear power plants/nuclear facility design basis, and to warn personnel or to ensure their safety during or following events that involve or result in release of radioactivity in the nuclear power plants/nuclear facility, or risk of radiation exposure. This equipment is typically classified as category "A" or "B" or "C" or "not classified" in IEC 61226. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are updates taking account of the requirements of IEC standards published since 1996.
