NF ISO 8769
Reference sources for the calibration of surface contamination monitors. Beta-emitters (maximum beta energy greater than 0,15 mev) and alpha-emitters.
Specifies the characteristics of reference sources and reference radiations which take the form of adequately characterized large-area sources specified in terms of activity (per unit area) and surface emission rate. Regulatory documents refer to surface contamination in terms of activity per unit area, while the response of monitoring instruments is related directly to the radiation emitted (i.e. they indicate surface emission rate). Does not describe the procedure involved in the use of these sources (see e.g. IEC Publication 325).

ISO 8769:2010 specifies the characteristics of reference sources of radioactive surface contamination, traceable to national measurement standards, for the calibration of surface contamination monitors. ISO 8769:2010 relates to alpha-emitters, beta-emitters and photon emitters of maximum photon energy not greater than 1,5 MeV. It does not describe the procedures involved in the use of these reference sources for the calibration of surface contamination monitors. ISO 8769:2010 specifies also reference radiation for the calibration of surface contamination monitors, which takes the form of adequately characterized large area sources specified, without exception, in terms of surface emission rates, the evaluation of these quantities being traceable to national standards.

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!
