UNE-EN IEC 62618:2024

This document applies to Spectroscopy-based alarming Personal Radiation Detectors (SPRD).SPRDs detect and identify gamma radiation and may detect neutron radiation. SPRDs can beworn on a belt or in a pocket to alert the wearer of the presence of a radiation source. SPRDsprovide search, similar to that of a Personal Radiation Device (PRD), and identificationcapability to identify radiation sources. They can discriminate between alarms caused byNaturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) or medical radionuclides and alarms fromindustrial sources or Special Nuclear Material (SNM).This document establishes performance requirements and specifies general characteristics,general test conditions, radiological, climatic, mechanical, and electromagnetic characteristics.This document also provides test methods that are used to determine if an SPRD meets thestated requirements.This document does not apply to the performance of radiation protection instrumentation whichis covered in IEC 61526 and IEC 60846-1. SPRDs are not intended for accurate measurementof personal (Hp(10)) or ambient (H*(10)) dose equivalent (rate).
