OSTI ID:5123101
The quality and performance of radiation protection instruments are extremely important in providing conservative protection to radiation workers. International standards for radiation protection instrumentation, published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), specify general performance, type, and acceptance test requirements. The recent draft American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards on radiation protection instrumentation provide more specific performance requirements and definitive performance tests. This paper compares the similarities and differences of these two publication standards. 2 refs., 2 tabs.
