Measurement of radioactivity in the environment - Air: radon-222 - Part 5: Continuous measurement methods of the activity concentration (ISO 11665-5:2020)

This document describes continuous measurement methods for radon-222. It gives indications for continuous measuring of the temporal variations of radon activity concentration in open or confined atmospheres.
This document is intended for assessing temporal changes in radon activity concentration in the environment, in public buildings, in homes and in work places, as a function of influence quantities such as ventilation and/or meteorological conditions.
The measurement method described is applicable to air samples with radon activity concentration greater than 5 Bq/m3.

Ermittlung der Radioaktivität in der Umwelt - Luft: Radon-222 - Teil 5: Kontinuierliche Messverfahren für die Aktivitätskonzentration (ISO 11665-5:2020)

Dieses Dokument beschreibt kontinuierliche Messverfahren für 222Rn. Es gibt Hinweise für die kontinuierliche Messung der zeitlichen Veränderung der Radon-Aktivitätskonzentration in offenen und umschlossenen Atmosphären.
Dieses Dokument dient der Bewertung der zeitlichen Schwankungen der Radon-Aktivitätskonzentration in der Umgebung, in öffentlichen Gebäuden, in Wohnhäusern und an Arbeitsplätzen in Abhängigkeit von Ein-fluss¬größen wie der Belüftung und/oder den meteorologischen Bedingungen.
Das beschriebene Messverfahren ist anwendbar auf Luftproben mit Radon-Aktivitätskonzentrationen größer als 5 Bq m–3.

Mesurage de la radioactivité dans l'environnement - Air: radon 222 - Partie 5: Méthodes de mesure en continu de l'activité volumique (ISO 11665-5:2020)

Le présent document décrit les méthodes de mesure en continu du radon-222. Il donne des indications pour le mesurage en continu des variations temporelles de l'activité volumique du radon dans des atmosphères libres ou confinées.
Le présent document est destiné à évaluer les variations temporelles de l'activité volumique du radon dans l'environnement, les bâtiments publics, les habitations et les lieux de travail en fonction de grandeurs d'influence telles que les conditions de ventilation et/ou météorologiques.
la méthode de mesure décrite s'applique à des échantillons d'air dont l'activité volumique du radon est supérieure à 5/m3.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
