IEEE N42.48 2008 Edition, January 1, 2008 Performance Requirements for Spectroscopic Personal Radiation Detectors (SPRDs) for Homeland Security
More info
Description / Abstract:
This standard describes design and performance requirements
along with testing methods for evaluating radiation detection
instruments that are pocket-sized and worn on the body for the
purpose of rapid detection and identification of radioactive
materials.
The performance requirements contained in this standard are meant to provide a means for verifying the capability of these instruments to reliably detect changes above background levels of radiation, notify the user to these changes, and provide a means to determine if the alarm was caused by a radionuclide of interest that may require further evaluation.
These devices are not primarily intended to provide a measurement of dose-equivalent rate. However, their indication can provide an approximate value of exposure rate that should be reasonably accurate. They are also not meant to provide radionuclide identification at the same level as radionuclide identification detectors defined in ANSI N42.34.1
Successful completion of the tests described in this standard should not be construed as an ability to identify all radionuclides in all environments.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to specify performance criteria and test methods used to evaluate radiation detection and radionuclide identification instruments that are pocket-sized and may be worn on the body.
