EN 62598:2013

Nuclear instrumentation - Constructional requirements and classification of radiometric gauges

IEC 62598:2011 applies to the manufacture and installation of electrical measuring systems and instruments utilizing radioactive sources (radiometric gauges, hereinafter called gauges). It also applies to source housings intended for use in the aforementioned measuring systems. This standard applies to equipment, which is not related to power production or to the fuel cycle. It specifies constructional requirements for the design of instruments utilizing radioactive sources in regard of radiation protection. This standards cancels and replaces IEC 60405.

Instrumentation nucléaire - Exigences de construction et classification pour les jauges radiométriques

La CEI 62598:2011 s'applique à la fabrication et à l'installation des systèmes et appareils de mesure électriques utilisant des sources radioactives (jauges radiométriques, ci-après désignées par jauges, en abrégé). Elle s'applique également aux boîtiers des sources destinées à être utilisées dans les systèmes de mesure mentionnés ci-dessus. Cette Norme s'applique à un équipement, qui n'est pas relié à la production d'électricité nucléaire ou au cycle du combustible nucléaire. Cette Norme spécifie les exigences de construction concernant la conception des instruments utilisant des sources radioactives, eu égard à la protection contre le rayonnement. Cette norme annule et remplace la CEI 60405.

Jedrska merilna oprema - Konstrukcijske zahteve in razvrstitev radiometričnih merilnikov

Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za izdelavo ter namestitev električnih merilnih sistemov in instrumentov, ki uporabljajo radioaktivne vire (radiometrični merilniki, v nadaljevanju »merilniki«). Uporablja se tudi za ohišja virov, ki so namenjeni za uporabo v omenjenih merilnih sistemih. Ta standard se uporablja za opremo, ki ni povezana s proizvodnjo energije ali ciklom goriva. Ne uporablja se za prenosljive merilnike, ki so poleg svoje zasnove in namenske uporabe zasnovani tako, da se upravljajo kot mobilna oprema, ter za merilnike, ki se upravljajo z rentgenskimi cevmi, vendar se lahko analogno uporablja za te merilnike. Namen tega standarda je določitev konstrukcijskih zahtev za oblikovanje instrumentov, ki uporabljajo radioaktivne vire, v povezavi z zaščito pred sevanjem. Ta standard ne obravnava mehanskih tveganj ali nevarnosti zaradi elektrike.

Foreword
This document (EN 62598:2013) consists of the text of IEC 62598:2011 prepared by IEC/TC 45 "Nuclear
instrumentation".
The following dates are fixed:
(dop) 2014-07-22
• latest date by which the document has
to be implemented at national level by

standards conflicting with the

document have to be withdrawn

This document supersedes EN 60405:2007.
EN 62598:2013 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 60405:2007:
– Introduction of Category C for stand-alone source housings intended for fixed radiometric gauges and
associated test procedures.
– The system classification code has been amended by one digit indicating the applied revision of
EN 62598 and by a second digit indicating the fire test conditions.
– The term dose rate class shall be used instead of radiation protection class. Class 7, or alternatively E,
represents the current ICRP regulations.
– Introduction of fire resistance classes.
– Revision of the procedure for dose equivalent measurements.
– Addition of Annex A (informative) "Guidelines for the installation of radiometric gauges".
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
