What is BS EN 62694-BRD for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material about?
BS EN 62694 is a European standard on radiation protection instrumentation that discusses the Backpack-type radiation detector (BRD) for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material to ensure radiation protection.
BS EN 62694 applies to backpack-type radiation detectors (BRDs) that are used for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material. BS EN 62694 establishes the operational and performance requirements for BRDs. BRDs are portable instruments designed to be worn during use. They may also be used as temporary area monitors in a stand-alone mode.
BRDs detect gamma radiation and may include neutron detection and/or the identification of gamma-ray emitting radionuclides.
BS EN 62694 establishes performance and testing requirements associated with radiation measurements and the expected electrical, mechanical, and environmental conditions while in use.
Who is BS EN 62694-BRD for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material for?
BS EN 62694 on BRD for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material is useful for:
- Backpack-type radiation detector manufacturers
- Backpack-type radiation detector test personnel
- Occupational health and safety departments
- Quality assurance departments
Why should you use BS EN 62694-BRD for the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material?
The backpack-type radiation detector is an instrument composed of several radiation detection components that are placed inside a backpack or other similar enclosure with an external user interface or control device.
BS EN 62694 provides you with the general test procedures, general requirements, radiation detection requirements, environmental requirements, mechanical requirements, electromagnetic requirements, and much more.
The requirements and test procedures provided by BS EN 62694 assist in improving the performance and quality of the BRD and ensuring protection against severe health issues due to radiation.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 62694, you can enhance the efficacy of the BRD and manufacture a standardized product.
