The text of International Standard IEC 60861:2006 was approved by CENELEC as a
European Standard with agreed common modifications as given below.

COMMON MODIFICATIONS

1 Scope
In the first sentence of the fourth paragraph replace “continuous monitoring” with
“continuous monitoring (including discrete sequential measurement)”.
In the last sentence of the fourth paragraph replace “extraction and laboratory
analysis” with “extraction followed by laboratory analysis”.

2 Normative references
Add the following:
ISO 11929 (Series) Determination of the detection limit and decision threshold for
ionizing radiation measurements

3 Terms and definitions
3.1 water monitor
Replace the definition with “equipment intended for monitoring of radionuclides in
liquid effluents and surface waters”.

3.3 continuous measurement
Delete the whole definition.

3.5 discrete sequential measurement
Add the following note:
NOTE Z  Immediately after collection of the sample the activity of the sample will be measured, during
the time the next sample is collected. The time between taking each sample should be as short as
possible.

3.11 total equivalent window thickness (density thickness)
