CENELEC EN IEC 62694 PDF

This document applies to backpack-type radiation detectors (BRDs) that are primarily used for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material. BRDs are portable instruments designed to be worn during use. BRDs detect gamma radiation and may include neutron detection and the ability to identify gamma-ray emitting radionuclides.

This document establishes the operational and testing requirements associated with radiation measurements and the expected electrical, mechanical, and environmental conditions while in use.

This document does not apply to ambient or personal dose equivalent rate meters which are covered in IEC 60846-1 or IEC 61526, respectively.
