What is BS EN ISO 10704:2019 about?
BS EN ISO 10704 is one of a set of International Standards on test methods dealing with the measurement of the activity concentration of radionuclides in water samples. BS EN ISO 10704 specifies a method for the determination of gross alpha and gross beta activity concentration for alpha- and beta-emitting radionuclides.
Gross alpha and gross beta activity measurement is not intended to give an absolute determination of the activity concentration of all alpha and beta emitting radionuclides in a test sample.
NOTE: The method covers non-volatile radionuclides since some gaseous or volatile radionuclides (e.g. radon and radioiodine) can be lost during the source preparation.
