30、ON METERS AND MONITORS FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning
31、 standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their pre
32、paration is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closel
33、y with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant
34、 subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the tech
35、nical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum ext
36、ent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for a
37、ny equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committee
38、s and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
39、8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent ri
40、ghts. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 62363 has been prepared by subcommittee 45B: Radiation protection instrumentation, of IEC technical committee 45: Nuclear instrumentation. This standard should be regarded as a complemen
41、tary standard to IEC 60325, which is applicable to alpha and beta contamination monitoring assemblies. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 45B/579/FDIS 45B/590/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the re
42、port on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. 6 62363 IEC:2008 The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site und
43、er “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. 62363 IEC:2008 7 RADIATION PROTECTION INSTRUMENTATION PORTABLE PHOTON CONTAMINATION METERS AND MONITORS 1 Scope and obj
44、ect This International Standard is applicable to portable and transportable contamination meters and monitors designed for the direct measurement or the direct detection of surface contamination by photon radiation emitting radionuclides and which comprise at least: a detection assembly (comprising
45、counter tube, scintillation detector or semiconductor detector, etc.), which may be connected either rigidly or by means of a flexible cable or incorporated into a single assembly; a measurement assembly. The standard is applicable to: photon surface contamination meters; photon surface contaminatio
46、n monitors. The standard is applicable to detection assemblies that are designed to measure photon contamination from radionuclides which emit photons with energy in excess of 5 keV. In particular, this standard should be used to assess the performance of assemblies used to demonstrate that material
47、 is free from surface contamination by photon emitting radionuclides. This standard is also applicable to special purpose assemblies and to assemblies specifically designed to provide limited spectroscopic information to the user. NOTE These detection assemblies may be used to measure photon emissio
48、ns from radionuclides that also emit alpha and beta radiations, where the alpha and beta emissions may be shielded due to the nature of the contamination. If shielding of the radioactive emissions occurs, then strictly speaking, the contamination is near to rather than on the surface of the article
49、being monitored. The object of this standard is to lay down standard requirements and to give examples of acceptable methods, and also to specify general characteristics, general test conditions, radiation characteristics, electrical safety, environmental characteristics, and the requirements of the identification certificate for photon contamination meters and monitors. 2 Normative references The following refe
