Annotation of standard text IEC 62401-ed.2.0 :
IEC 62401:2017 describes design and functional criteria along with testing methods for evaluating the performance of Personal Radiation Devices (PRDs) used for detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material (e. g., for border radiation monitoring). This document applies to alarming radiation detection instruments that are pocket-sized, carried on the body and used to detect and indicate the presence and general magnitude of gamma radiation fields. Neutron detection may also be provided. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) making the standard consistent with the new standards for detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material (see the Introduction); b) changing some basic requirements; c) creating a uniform functionality test for all environmental, electromagnetic and mechanical tests; d) reference to IEC 62706 for the environmental, electromagnetic and mechanical test conditions. IEC 62401:2017 decrire les criteres fonctionnels et de conception ainsi que des methodes dessai pour evaluer les performances des PRD utilises pour la detection de trafic illicite de matieres radioactives (par exemple a la surveillance des frontieres). Le present document sapplique aux instruments de detection de rayonnement avec alarme qui sont portables en poche ou sur lindividu et qui sont utilises pour detecter et signaler la presence et lordre de grandeur des champs de rayonnement gamma. La detection neutronique peut egalement etre fournie. Cette edition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport a ledition precedente: a) coherence de la norme avec les nouvelles normes relatives a la detection du trafic illicite de matiere radioactive (voir Introduction); b) modification de certaines exigences: c) creation dun essai de fonctionnalite uniforme pour tous les essais environnementaux, electromagnetiques et mecaniques, et dune exigence relative au coefficient de variation de chaque releve de moyenne nominal; d) reference a lIEC 62706 pour les conditions dessais environnementaux, electromagnetiques et mecaniques.
