新的IEEE标准-激活。 ANSI N42。17B-1989，《美国国家标准健康物理仪器性能规范-职业气载放射性监测仪器》描述了用于监测职业暴露于气载放射性物质的仪器的最低可接受性能标准。标准中包括确定每个空气监测器可接受性的测试方法。测试包括空气采样能力；电源、电子和报警功能；辐射和干扰反应；以及环境因素，包括温度、湿度和环境压力。

New IEEE Standard - Active. ANSI N42.17B-1989, American National Standard Performance Specifications for Health Physics Instrumentation-Occupational Airborne Radioactivity Monitoring Instrumentation, describes the minimum acceptable performance criteria for instrumentation used to monitor occupational exposure to airborne radioactive materials. Included in the standard are testing methods to establish the acceptability of each air monitor. Tests involve air sampling capability; power, electronic, and alarm capabilities; radiation and interfering responses; and environmental factors including temperature, humidity, and ambient pressure.
