本标准规定了用于检测和测量电离辐射场水平或放射性表面污染水平的便携式辐射防护仪器的校准方法。在本标准中，便携式辐射防护仪器是指用手携带到特定设施或位置以供使用的仪器。尽管本标准仅适用于便携式辐射防护仪器，但基本校准原则一般可适用于辐射检测仪器。 本标准范围包括校准条件、设备和技术，以及所需的精度和准确度。 考虑了α、β、光子和中子辐射。薄膜、热释光和化学剂量计等被动集成剂量计不在本标准范围内，但基本原理和意图可能适用。如果集成能力包括速率测量或检测，则应适用本标准。 在这些标准中，使用了四个动词来表示特定标准的严格程度。 A.莎拉？还有一个？威拉？指出必须满足的最低标准，而？应该吗？还有一个？会吗？指出建议作为良好实践的标准，并在可行时应用。

This standard establishes calibration methods for portable radiation protection instruments used for detection and measurement of levels of ionizing radiation fields or levels of radioactive surface contamination. For purposes of this standard, portable radiation protection instruments are those which are carried by hand to a specific facility or location for use. Although this standard is specific to portable radiation protection instrumentation, the basic calibration principles may be applicable to radiation detection instrumentation in general. Included within the scope of this standard are conditions, equipment, and techniques for calibration as well as the degree of precision and accuracy required. Alpha, beta, photon, and neutron radiations are considered. Passive integrating dosimetric devices such as film, Thermoluminescent, and chemical dosimeters are outside the scope of this standard, but the basic principles and intent may apply. In cases where integrating capability is included along with rate measurement or detection, this standard shall apply. Throughout these criteria, four verbs have been used to indicate the degree of rigor intended by the specific criterion. "Shall" and "will" indicate a minimum criterion that must be met, while "should" and "would" indicate a criterion that is recommended as good practice and is to be applied when practical.
