IEC 62327:2017规定了一般特性、一般测试程序、辐射特性以及电气、机械、安全和环境特性。本文件适用于用于检测和识别放射性核素和放射性物质、估计光子辐射的环境剂量当量率以及可选地检测中子辐射的手持仪器。它们通常被称为放射性核素识别装置或RID。 与上一版相比，此新版本包括以下重大技术变更: -增加了详细的测试方法； -修订了环境试验的鉴别试验验收标准； -更改格式以匹配类似标准之一。

IEC 62327:2017 specifies general characteristics, general test procedures, radiation characteristics, as well as electrical, mechanical, safety, and environmental characteristics. This document applies to hand-held instruments used to detect and identify radionuclides and radioactive material, to estimate ambient dose equivalent rate from photon radiation, and optionally, to detect neutron radiation. They are commonly known as radionuclide identification devices or RIDs.
This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- addition of detailed methods of test;
- revised identification test acceptance criteria for environmental tests;
- changed format to match the one of similar standards.
