    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies minimum requirements for mechanical, construction, viewing screen, luminance, colour and diffusion of light, uniformity of illumination, anti-glare devices and heating for industrial radiographic illuminators for non-destructive testing.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This International Standard specifies the minimum requirements for industrial illuminators used for viewing radiographs.

    The function of the illuminator is to allow the viewing of radiographs.

    The illuminator shall guarantee the same safety of personnel as an electric apparatus with maximum voltage, insulation and earthing which is required by corresponding safety standards of electrotechnics in each country where these are applied.
