(Main)Radiation protection instrumentation - Spectroscopy-based alarming Personal Radiation Detectors (SPRD) for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material
Radiation protection instrumentation - Spectroscopy-based alarming Personal Radiation Detectors (SPRD) for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material
This standard applies to Spectroscopy-based alarming Personal Radiation Detectors (SPRD) which represent a new instrument category between alarming Personal Radiation Devices (PRD) and Radionuclide Identification Devices (RID). SPRDs are advanced PRDs that can be worn on a belt or in a pocket to alert the wearer of the presence of a radiation source. They are not intended for accurate measurement of personal or ambient dose equivalent (rate). In addition to the features of conventional PRDs, SPRDs provide rapid simultaneous search and identification capability to locate and identify radiation sources.

Instrumentation pour la radioprotection - Détecteurs individuels spectroscopiques d'alarme aux rayonnements (SPRD) pour la détection du trafic illicite des matières radioactives
La CEI 62618:2013 s'applique aux détecteurs individuels spectroscopiques d'alarme aux rayonnements, nouvelle catégorie d'instruments qui s'ajoute aux dispositifs individuels d'alarme aux rayonnements et aux dispositifs d'identification de radionucléides. La présente norme définit les exigences de performances, fournit des exemples de méthodes d'essais acceptables et précise les caractéristiques générales, les conditions générales d'essai, les caractéristiques radiologiques, environnementales, mécaniques et électromagnétiques utilisées afin de déterminer si un instrument satisfait aux exigences de la présente norme.
Instrumenti za zaščito pred sevanjem - Spektroskopski alarmni osebni detektorji sevanja za odkrivanje nedovoljenega prometa z radioaktivnimi snovmi (IEC 62618:2013)
Ta standard se uporablja za spektroskopske alarmne osebne detektorje sevanja (SPRD), ki predstavljajo novo vmesno kategorijo instrumentov med alarmnimi osebnimi detektorji sevanja (PRD) in radionuklidnimi napravami za prepoznavanje (RID). Detektorji SPRD so napredni detektorji PRD, ki se lahko nosijo na pasu ali v žepu ter nosilca opozarjajo na prisotnost vira sevanja. Niso namenjeni natančnim meritvam osebnih ali okoljskih ekvivalentnih odmerkov. Poleg funkcij konvencionalnih detektorjev PRD detektorji SPRD zagotavljajo možnost hitrega istočasnega iskanja in identifikacije za določanje in prepoznavanje virov sevanja.
