Decontamination of radioactively contaminated surfaces - Testing of decontamination agents for textiles (ISO 9271:2023)

This document applies to the testing of the decontamination of textiles, which are contaminated by radioactive materials.
The test method describes the technique to assess the efficiency of decontamination agents (see ISO 7503-1 and ISO 7503-3).
This document applies to the testing of detergents, which may be used in aqueous solutions for the purpose of cleaning radioactively contaminated textiles.
The radionuclides used in this test are those commonly found in the nuclear industry (60Co and 137Cs or 134Cs) in aqueous form. The test can also be adapted for use with other radionuclides and other chemical forms, depending on the customer requirements, if the solutions are chemically stable and do not damage the test specimen.
The test method is not suitable if the radionuclide emits low energy gamma rays, like 55Fe, or low energy beta or alpha particles that are readily attenuated in the textile fabrics, or if the nuclide has a chemical or isotopic interaction with the detergent used in the method (e.g. tritium which could be in several chemical forms).
The test method does not apply to the testing of the ability of detergents to remove non-radioactive dirt.

Dekontamination von radioaktiv kontaminierten Oberflächen - Prüfung von Dekontaminationswaschmitteln für Textilien (ISO 9271:2023)

Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für die Prüfung der Dekontamination von Textilien, die durch radioaktive Stoffe kontaminiert sind.
Das Prüfverfahren beschreibt die Technik zur Bewertung der Wirksamkeit von Dekontaminations-waschmitteln (siehe ISO 7503 1 und ISO 7503 3).
Dieses Dokument ist für die Prüfung von Waschmitteln anwendbar, die in wässrigen Lösungen für den Zweck der Reinigung radioaktiv kontaminierter Textilien angewendet werden können.
Bei den in dieser Prüfung verwendeten Radionukliden handelt es sich um die in der nuklearen Industrie häufig vorkommenden Radionuklide (60Co und 137Cs oder 134Cs) in wässriger Form. Abhängig von den Anforderungen des Kunden kann die Prüfung auch für die Verwendung mit anderen Radionukliden und anderen chemischen Formen angepasst werden, sofern die Lösungen chemisch stabil sind und die Untersuchungsprobe nicht beschädigen.
Das Prüfverfahren ist nicht geeignet, wenn das Radionuklid niederenergetische Gammastrahlen, wie 55Fe, oder niederenergetische Beta  oder Alpha Partikel emittiert, die in textilen Geweben schnell abgeschwächt werden, oder falls das Radionuklid chemisch oder isotopisch mit dem bei dem Verfahren verwendeten Waschmittel interagiert (z. B. Tritium, das in mehreren chemischen Formen vorliegen könnte).
Das Prüfverfahren ist nicht für die Prüfung der Fähigkeit von Waschmitteln, nicht radioaktiven Schmutz zu beseitigen, anwendbar.
