Radiation protection instrumentation. Spectroscopy-based alarming Personal Radiation Detectors (SPRD) for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material
辐射防护仪器 用于检测放射性物质非法贩运的基于光谱的个人辐射探测器(SPRD)
BS EN 62618:2016 applies to Spectroscopy-based alarming Personal Radiation
Detectors (SPRD) which represent a new instrument category between alarming Personal
Radiation Devices (PRD) and Radionuclide Identification Devices (RID). SPRDs are advanced
PRDs that can be worn on a belt or in a pocket to alert the wearer of the presence of a
radiation source. They are not intended for accurate measurement of personal or ambient
dose equivalent (rate). In addition to the features of conventional PRDs, SPRDs provide rapid
simultaneous search and identification capability to locate and identify radiation sources.
They can discriminate innocent alarms such as Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials
(NORM) or medical radionuclides against industrial sources or Special Nuclear Material
(SNM). Because of their limited sensitivity, SPRDs cannot replace RIDs. For first responders,
SPRDs can be particularly useful for immediate response measures.This standard does not apply to the performance of radiation protection instrumentation which
is covered in IEC 61526 and IEC 62401.The object of this standard is to establish performance requirements, provide examples of
acceptable test methods and to specify general characteristics, general test conditions,
radiological, environmental, mechanical and electromagnetic characteristics that are used to
determine if an instrument meets the requirements of this standard. The results of tests
performed provide information to end-users and manufacturers on instrument capability for
reliable detection, localization and identification of radiation sources.Obtaining operating performance that meets or exceeds the specifications as stated in this
standard depends upon properly establishing appropriate operating parameters, maintaining
calibration, implementing a suitable maintenance program, auditing compliance with quality
control requirements and providing proper training for operating personnel.Cross References:IEC 60050-393:2003IEC 60050-394:2007IEC 60529IEC 61187IEC 62706IEC 62755ISO 4037-3ISO 8529-1:2001ICRU Report 39:1985ICRU Report 47:1992EN 60529EN 61187IEC 60846IEC 61005IEC 61526IEC 62327IEC 62401ISO 4037-1ISO 4037-2ISO 8529-2ISO 8529-3ANSI N42.42ICRU Report 33All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
