This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2004-10-01. 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.

Foreword
The text of the International Standard IEC 60846:2002, 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 on 2004-10-01.
The following dates were fixed:

at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2005-10-01

– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2007-10-01
Clauses, subclauses, tables and figures which are additional to those in IEC 60846 are

Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60846:2002 was approved by CENELEC as a
European Standard with agreed common modifications as given below.
COMMON MODIFICATIONS
3 Terminology
Add:
3.2.Z1
maximum dose equivalent rate (for dosemeters)
the dose rate, specified by the manufacturer, above which the dose reading is no longer within
the requirements of this standard
4 General characteristics of ambient and directional dose equivalent (rate) meters
4.3.10 Delete: “, (see also note 7 in 3.2)”.
4.3.11 Replace reference to 3.2 by reference to 3.4.5 and 3.4.7.
5 Radiation characteristics – Directional dose equivalent (rate) meters
5.1.4.1 Last sentence: replace “alarm rate” by “alarm rates”.
5.2.1 Add a second paragraph reading:
An additional test shall be performed with a beta emitter in the range E between
max
100 keV and 500 keV.
5.2.2 Replace first paragraph by:
85 204 90 90 147
For the beta radiations of Kr or Tl, Sr/ Y and Pm, the response is measured
for 0° angle and for angles of incidence of α = ± 45° in two perpendicular planes
containing the reference direction through the reference point of the
