Scope
This part 01 ISO 3999 specriies the perlormance, design and test requirements oi apparatus lor gamma radiography with portable. mobiie and fixed exposure containers oi the various categories defined In clause 4.
it applies to apparatus designed to allow the controlled use oi gamma radiation emitted by a sealed radioactive source tor industrial radiography purposes in order that persons will be saieguarded when the apparatus is used in conformity with the regulations in force regarding radiation protection.
It is emphasised, however, that so far as transport oi apparatus and sealed radioactive source is concerned, compliance with this part oi ISO 3999 Is no substitute for satisfying the requirements oi international relevant transport regulations (IAEA Fleguiations tor the safe transport ol radioactive materials, rel. IAEA-STI-PUD 998, Safety Standards Series ST】 and ST2﹐ and/or the relevant national transport regulations).
The operational use oi apparatus ior industrial gamma radiography is not covered by this part at ISO 3999〈 Users of this equipment shall compiy With national regulations and codes oi practice.
