BS EN IEC 62327:2019 Radiation protection instrumentation. Hand-held instruments for the detection and identification of radionuclides and for the estimation of ambient dose equivalent rate from photon radiation
What is BS EN IEC 62327 - Radiation protection instrumentation about?
BS EN IEC 62327 is a European standard on hand-held instruments to prevent radiation hazards.
BS EN IEC 62327 applies to hand-held instruments used to detect and identify radionuclides and radioactive material, to estimate ambient dose equivalent rate from photon radiation, and optionally, to detect neutron radiation. They are commonly known as radionuclide identification devices or RIDs.
BS EN IEC 62327 specifies general characteristics, general test procedures, radiation characteristics, as well as electrical, mechanical, safety, and environmental characteristics.
Note: BS EN IEC 62327 does not cover laboratory type, high-resolution photon spectrometers, or instruments (Portable workplace and environmental meters and monitors), (photon dose (rate) meters), or (neutron dose equivalent (rate) meters).
