Radiation protection instrumentation - Equipment for measuring the activity concentration of gamma-emitting radionuclides in foodstuffs
This document applies to instruments used to measure the activity and/or activity concentration of gamma-emitting radionuclides in food and/or foodstuffs. This document applies to instruments used both gross count type instruments and pulse height analysing type instruments used in field conditions and in measurement facilities. This document does not apply to high-resolution spectrometers that use germanium detectors.

Instrumentation pour la radioprotection - Équipement de mesure de la concentration d’activité des radionucléides émetteurs gamma dans les aliments
IEC 61563:2019 s’applique aux instruments utilisés pour mesurer l’activité et/ou l’activité volumique des radionucléides émetteurs gamma dans les aliments et/ou les produits alimentaires. Le présent document s’applique aux instruments utilisés à la fois comme instruments de comptage brut et comme instruments d’analyse d’amplitude d’impulsions dans des conditions en milieu réel et des installations de mesure. Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux spectromètres à haute résolution qui utilisent des détecteurs au germanium. Les instruments auxquels le présent document s’applique peuvent servir à mesurer l’activité et l’activité volumique des radionucléides émetteurs gamma contenus dans une grande variété d’échantillons, tels que sols, eaux usées, plantes et animaux vivants. L’objet du présent document consiste à définir des exigences de performances, à fournir des méthodes d’essai et à préciser des caractéristiques et des conditions d'essai générales, ainsi que des caractéristiques radiologiques, environnementales, mécaniques et électromagnétiques à appliquer pour déterminer si un instrument satisfait aux exigences du présent document. Les résultats d’essai fournissent des informations aux utilisateurs finaux et aux fabricants concernant la capacité de l’instrument à permettre un mesurage fiable de l’activité et/ou de l’activité volumique des radionucléides émetteurs gamma. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2001. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) La version antérieure concernait les instruments portatifs et portables. La présente version s’applique aux instruments transportables et installés, ainsi qu’au domaine d’application de la précédente version. Les instruments portatifs et portables sont principalement utilisés dans le cas de situations post-accidentelles. Cependant, ils peuvent être utilisés lors des phases de rétablissement. b) L’incertitude de mesure telle qu'elle est définie dans le Guide pour l’incertitude de mesure (GUM) a été ajoutée. c) La limite de détection définie dans l’ISO 11929 est ajoutée afin de préciser une activité minimale detectable. d) Les exigences environnementales, mécaniques et électromagnétiques sont mises à jour conformément à l’IEC 62706, e) Le format échantillon du rapport de mesure est ajouté
