Safety of machinery - Assessment and reduction of risks arising from radiation emitted by machinery - Part 3: Reduction of radiation by attenuation or screening

The purpose of this European Standard is to provide means to enable manufacturers of machinery concerned by a radiation hazard to design and manufacture efficient safeguards against radiations. The first three techniques given in clause 0 (a, b and c) are not covered by the present Part 3 of this standard. It will only deal with a design strategy for reducing the radiation flux by attenuation or screening. Specific technical details of the design of shields design for the different types of radiation and machines will be provided in other standards. ThisEuropean standard applies to machinery as defined in EN 292.

Introduction
Machinery supplied by electrical power or containing radiation sources may emit radiation or generate electric
and/or magnetic fields. The radiation emissions will vary in frequency and magnitude.
It does not deal with other strategies concerning reduction of radiation risk by substitution with a smaller source,
increasing the distance or reducing exposure time.
This document is a type B standard as stated in EN 1070.
The provisions of this document may be supplemented or modified by a type C standard.
NOTE For machines which are covered by the scope of a type C standard and which have been designed and built
according to the provisions of that standard, the provisions of that type C standard take precedence over the provisions of this
type B standard.
1 Scope
The purpose of this European standard is to provide means to enable manufacturers of machinery concerned by a
radiation hazard to design and manufacture efficient safeguards against radiations.
Specific technical details of the design of shields for the different types of radiation and machines will be provided
in other standards.
This European standard applies to machinery as defined by EN 292.
Part 1 of this standard contains the general principles of risk assessment of radiation emission by machinery.
Details of the measurement of the radiation emission are given in Part 2 of this standard.
This standard deals with a design strategy for reducing the radiation flux by attenuation or screening.

3.1
shield (general definition)
component designed to reduce, select or absorb radiations. The purpose of the component may be for radiation
protection or in order to select particular radiations
NOTE Shields are also know as attenuators, screens or filters .
3.2
protection shield
shield used for the radiation protection of people and/or equipment
3.3
selective shield
shield used to filter the radiations, selecting their kind or their energy
3.4
shadow shield
shield arranged in such a way that the radiation source is not totally enclosed, but which prevents free passage of
radiation in certain directions
4 Classification of radiation
Classification of radiation is given in clause 4 of EN 12198-1:2000.
Machinery shall be so designed and constructed that any emission of radiation is limited to the extent necessary for
its operation and that the effects on exposed persons are non-existent or reduced to non-dangerous proportions
(See EN 292-2:1991, annex A).
