Radiation protection instrumentation - Recommended climatic, electromagnetic and mechanical performance requirements and methods of tests IEC 62706:2019 ED2

Publication date:   Nov 27, 2019

Scope

IEC 62706:2019 recommends the climatic, mechanical and electromagnetic performance requirements and methods of test for radiation protection instrumentation. This document also provides guidance regarding the setup of test equipment and instruments under test (IUT) for certain tests.
The object of this document is to define, for design and test purposes, the environments in which radiation protection instrumentation may be exposed. The environments addressed by this document are applicable to body-worn (e.g., personal radiation detectors, backpack, and dosemeters), handheld, transportable, mobile, and installed instrumentation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, issued in 2012. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) addition of more details to selected methods of test;
b) revised radio frequency testing requirements based on measurements made at various locations;
c) added equipment and instrument setup guidance and recommendations.
