BS EN ISO 22017:2020 PDF

Scope: What is ISO 22017 about? ISO 22017 discusses water quality. ISO 22017 provides guidelines for testing laboratories wanting to use rapid test methods on water samples that may be contaminated following a nuclear or radiological emergency incident. ISO 22017 aims to ensure that decision-makers have reliable results needed to take actions quickly and minimize the radiation dose to the public. The test method(s) may be used for water samples after proper sampling, sample handling, and test sample preparation. The goal of these rapid measurements is often to check for unusual radioactivity levels in the test sample, to identify the radionuclides present. In addition, the rapid measurements check for the activity concentration levels of radionuclides and to establish compliance of the water with intervention levels.
