New IEEE Standard - Active.

The minimum performance criteria for portable radiation protection instrumentation are established in this standard for use in ionizing radiation fields under both normal and extreme environmental conditions, i.e., all environmental conditions.

The testing methods verify that the performance criteria are met over the range of operating conditions for each type of instrumentation.

This standard does not specify which instruments or systems are required, nor does it consider the number of specific applications of such instruments.

This standard establishes the minimum performance criteria for **portable radiation protection instrumentation** for use in ionizing radiation fields under both normal and extreme environmental conditions, i.e., all environmental conditions.

For the portable radiation detection instrumentation addressed in this standard, the radiological ranges for the performance tests are as follows:

  • the dose rate range of operation taken as background to 10 Gy/h (1000 rad/h);
  • the activity-per-unit-area range for surface contamination monitors taken as 0.01 Bq/cm (60 dpm/100 cm) or 0.05 Bq/cm (300 dpm/100 cm) to 200 Bq/cm (1.2 × 10^6 dpm/100 cm).

The testing methods verify that the performance criteria are met over the range of operating conditions for each type of instrumentation.

This standard **does not specify** which instruments or systems are required, nor does it consider the number of specific applications of such instruments.
