Some meters and monitors consist of detection assemblies and measurement assemblies where it is possible to separate the detector assembly and use alternative detection assemblies. Conformity with the standard can either be achieved by: All combinations of the detection assembly an

33、d the measurement assembly conforming to the requirements of this standard. or The detection assembly and the measurement assembly separately conforming to the relevant parts of this standard in isolation. NOTE The use of the latter criteria verifies conformance with this standard but does not infer

34、 that calibration of a particular combination of instruments is interchangeable with any other combination. The use of the latter criteria could allow a purchaser to use combinations of assemblies from different manufacturers with confidence. The standard is applicable to: alpha surface contaminatio

The latter two are equipment capable of determining alpha and beta contamination simultaneously

This standard is also applicable to special purpose assemblies and to assemblies specifically designed for a surface of a particular nature. However, some of the requirements may need to be amended or suppleme

Page6 EN60325:2004If an assembly has been designed to carry out combined functions, it must comply with the requirements pertaining to these different functions. If, on the other hand, it has been designed to perform one fu

39、nction, and, in addition, it is also capable of carrying out other functions, then it must comply with the requirements for the first function, and it would be desirable for it to comply with requirements pertaining to the others.
