This document applies to installed dose equivalent rate meters, warning assemblies and monitors, as defined below. It covers equipment intended to measure neutron radiation in dose equivalent rates in the energy region between thermal and 20 MeV for the purposes of radiation protection.
Assemblies of this type are commonly defined as area radiation monitors. They are normally employed to determine continuously the radiological situation in working areas in which the radiation field may change with time, for example, nuclear power plants, particle accelerators, high-activity laboratories, fuel reprocessing plants, etc., and provide alarms when the radiation field goes outside predetermined limits.Cross References:IEC 61000-4-8IEC 61000-4-12ISO 11929 (all parts)IEC 61508 (all parts)IEC 61000-4-3:2006IEC 60050-395:2014ISO 8529-2:2000IEC 60529:1989 Cons Ed 2-1ISO 4037-2:2019ISO 4037-1:2019ISO 12789-2:2008IEC 61000-4-6:2013ISO 8529-3:1998 (R11)ISO 12789-1:2008IEC 61000-4-5:2014IEC 61187:1993ISO 8529-1:2001IEC 61000-4-2:2008ISO 4037-3:2019JCGM 100:2008IEC 60860:2014All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
