This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2004-05-01. CENELEC members are bound to
comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and
notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Foreword
The text of the International Standard IEC 60325:2002, prepared by SC 45B, Radiation protection
instrumentation, of IEC TC 45, Nuclear instrumentation, together with the common modifications prepared
by the CENELEC BTTF 111-3, Instrumentation for ionizing radiation measurement and protection, was
submitted to the formal vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 60325 on 2004-05-01.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2005-05-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2007-05-01
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.
