BS ISO 3999:2004 specifies the performance, design and test requirements of apparatus for gamma
radiography with portable, mobile and fixed exposure containers of the various categories defined in Clause 4.It applies to apparatus designed to allow the controlled use of gamma radiation emitted by a sealed
radioactive source for industrial radiography purposes, in order that persons will be safeguarded when the
apparatus is used in conformity with the regulations in force regarding radiation protection.It is emphasised, however, that so far as transport of apparatus and sealed radioactive source is concerned,
compliance with this International Standard is no substitute for satisfying the requirements of relevant
international transport regulations (IAEA Regulations for the safe transport of radioactive materials:
IAEA-STI-PUB 998, Safety Standards Series No. ST-1 and No. ST-2, and/or the relevant national transport
regulations).The operational use of apparatus for industrial gamma radiography is not covered by this International
Standard. Users of this equipment shall comply with national regulations and codes of practice.Cross References:ISO 361ISO 2919:1999ISO 7503-1IAEA-STI-PUB 998IEC 60068-2-6IEC 60068-2-47IEC 60846IEC 61000-6-1IEC 61000-6-2IEC 61000-6-4ISO 2855ISO 9000ISO 9001ISO 9004ICRU 51:1993All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
