20、for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publ

21、ishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may

22、participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreeme

23、nt 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 subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Pub

24、lications 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 technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or

25、 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 extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corres

26、ponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for a

27、ny services carried out by independent certification bodies. 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 committees and

28、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. 8) Att

29、ention 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 rights.

30、IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical specification when the required support can

31、not be obtained for the publication of an International Standard, despite repeated efforts, or the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard. Technical specifications are

32、subject to review within three years of publication to decide whether they can be transformed into International Standards. IEC 62743, which is a technical specification, has been prepared by subcommittee 45B: Radiation protection instrumentation, of IEC technical committee 45: Nuclear instrumentati

33、on. TS 62743 IEC:2012(E) 5 The text of this technical specification is based on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 45B/706/DTS 45B/726A/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical specification can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above

34、 table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific

35、publication. At this date, the publication will be transformed into an International standard, reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. 6 TS 62743 IEC:2012(E) INTRODUCTION The specification and determina

36、tion of the special characteristics required for dosemeters to be used in pulsed fields of ionizing radiation have been excluded from all standards for direct reading personal and environmental dosemeters issued before 2012 for radiation protection purposes. These standards only specify characterist

37、ics for continuous radiation. This Techni- cal Specification provides the necessary information for the measurement of one single radia- tion pulse, which is the most difficult situation to be measured. The characteristics of a dose- meter for repeated pulses is expected to be better than for one si

38、ngle radiation pulse with the same parameters but worse than for continuous radiation, i.e., in between of the characteris- tics for these two extreme conditions. This Technical Specification applies for such direct reading dosemeters that use pulse counting for the determination of the measured dos

39、e value. Dosemeters that use delayed pulses, e.g., due to activation by neutrons, are excluded. The concept is similar to the concept used for other influence quantities, e.g., radiation energy. The workplace is characterized by the parameter range occurring at that workplace, i.e., in the case of e

40、nergy the expected possible values of radiation energy. It can then be determined if the dosemeter under consideration can be used. The required parameters for a workplace where pulsed radiation occurs are the minimum value of the radiation pulse duration, t pulse, min , occurring at the workplace,

41、the maximum value of the dose rate during the radiation pulse, max pulse, H , occurring at the workplace, the maximum value of the dose per radiation pulse, H pulse, max , occurring at the workplace. The parameters to be determined by the type test of the counting dosemeter are the maximum value of

42、the measurable dose rate in the pulse, max count, H , the dead time of the detector, t dead, the dose indication per each counting event which is registered by the dosemeter electronics, G count , the type of the dead time, i.e., extendable or non-extendable dead time, and finally the measurement cy

43、cle time of the dosemeter, T cycle . In principle, the parameters resulting from the type test could be determined using continuous radiation fields if the detector is connected to a simple, linear and straight forward counting electronics. But nearly any counting dosemeter exhibits one or more of t

44、he following properties. It uses internal range switching, uses software to correct for known deficiencies, e.g., the dead time or the radiation energy, uses special, proprietary algorithms, adjusts the measurement cycle time, T cycle , to the dose rate, dose G , measured by the dosemeter, mitigates

45、 the effect of EMC-pulses and mechanical drops. All these properties could affect the results when determining the characteristics for pulsed radiation fields by using continuous radiation fields. The conclusion is that measurements using pulsed radiation fields are required for testing of dosemeter

46、s. As a help to the user to judge whether or not the dosemeter under consideration can be used, Table A.1 in the informative Annex A gives some parameter values for typical workplaces TS 62743 IEC:2012(E) 7 where pulsed radiation occurs. They are based on the knowledge available in 2012 and may chan

47、ge with the next generation of pulsed radiation generating equipment. This Technical Specification contains much information for which worldwide experience is not available at the date of its development. Therefore, it was decided to publish it as a Technical Specification. It is expected that withi

48、n the next years this experience will be gained and then maintenance of this publication could lead to an International Standard. 8 TS 62743 IEC:2012(E) RADIATION PROTECTION INSTRUMENTATION ELECTRONIC COUNTING DOSEMETERS FOR PULSED FIELDS OF IONIZING RADIATION 1 Scope This Technical Specification ap

49、plies to all types of counting dosemeters, irrespective of the measuring quantity and the type of radiation intended to be measured. It ensures that a single radiation pulse can be correctly measured even if the dosemeter is in the internal state relevant for measuring background or environmental radiation. The characteristics of the dosemeter for repeated pulses is expected to be better than for one single radiation pulse with the same parameters but worse than fo
