BS ISO 7503-3:2016 are addressed to the people responsible for determining the radioactivity
present on solid surfaces.This part of ISO 7503 applies to the evaluation of contamination on surfaces in terms of activity per
unit area by direct and indirect methods of measurement and deals with the complex aspects of
instrument calibration.This part of ISO 7503 is applicable to well-defined surfaces, such as those of equipment and facilities,
containers of radioactive materials, sealed sources, and buildings or land.This part of ISO 7503 can be used for laboratory and equipment/installation control and for remediation
and monitoring activities to comply with release criteria.This part of ISO 7503 also refers to the following:calibration laboratories or institutions dealing with radionuclides with complex emission
characteristics or radionuclides for which no reference calibration sources are available;institutions confronted with the task to evaluate surface contaminations consisting of a
radionuclide mixture;institutions/authorities controlling nuclear material transports or material/equipment clearance
according to national legislation guideline values or international convention limits.This part of ISO 7503 does not apply to contamination of the skin, clothing, or loose material, such as
gravel.NOTE Direct evaluation of surface contamination from alpha-emitters, beta-emitters and photon emitters
is dealt with in ISO 7503-1. The test method using wipe-test samples for the evaluation of radioactive surface
contaminations is dealt with in ISO 7503-2.Cross References:ISO 7503-1ISO 7503-2ISO 8769ISO 11929ISO/IEC 17025IEC 60325NUREG-1575:2000IAEA SSR-6:2012IAEA 72:2012ISO 11932ISO 80000-1ISO 80000-10ISO/IEC Guide 98-3GUM:1995ISO/IEC Guide 99All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
