Radiation protection instrumentation - Backpack-type radiation detector (BRD) for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material

This Standard applies to backpack-type radiation detectors (BRDs) that are used for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material. This standard establishes the operational and performance requirements for BRDs. BRDs are portable instruments designed to be worn during use. They may also be used as temporary area monitors in a stand-alone mode.

Instrumentation pour la radioprotection - Détecteur de rayonnement de type sac-à-dos (BRD) pour la détection du trafic illicite des matières radioactives

L'IEC 62694:2014 s'applique aux détecteurs de rayonnement de type sac à dos (BRD, backpack-type radiation detector) utilisés dans la détection du trafic illicite des matières radioactives. Cette norme établit les exigences de performances et d'essai associées aux mesures du rayonnement, ainsi que les conditions électriques, mécaniques et ambiantes prévues pendant l'utilisation.

Instrumenti za zaščito pred sevanjem - Nahrbtni detektor sevanja (BRD) za odkrivanje nezakonitega prometa z radioaktivnimi snovmi (IEC 62694:2014)

Ta standard se uporablja za nahrbtne detektorje sevanja (BRD), ki se uporabljajo za odkrivanje nezakonitega prometa z radioaktivnimi snovmi. Ta standard določa zahteve za delovanje za detektorje BRD. Detektorji BRD so prenosni instrumenti, ki so zasnovani tako, da se med uporabo nosijo. Uporabljajo se lahko tudi kot začasni območni senzorji v samostojnem načinu.
