Radiation protection instrumentation - Alarming personal radiation devices (PRDs) for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material
IEC 62401:2017 describes design and functional criteria along with testing methods for evaluating the performance of Personal Radiation Devices (PRDs) used for detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material (e. g., for border radiation monitoring). This document applies to alarming radiation detection instruments that are pocket-sized, carried on the body and used to detect and indicate the presence and general magnitude of gamma radiation fields. Neutron detection may also be provided.This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:a) making the standard consistent with the new standards for detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material (see the Introduction);b) changing some basic requirements;c) creating a uniform functionality test for all environmental, electromagnetic and mechanical tests;d) reference to IEC 62706 for the environmental, electromagnetic and mechanical test conditions.

Radiation protection instrumentation - Alarming personal radiation devices (PRD) for detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material
Describes design and functioning criteria along with testing methods for evaluating the performance of instruments for detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material (for example, for border radiation monitoring). These instruments may be used in extreme environmental conditions, they are pocket-sized, carried on the body and used to detect and indicate the presence and general magnitude of penetrating ionizing radiation, including photons and/or neutrons.
ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.
The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
