31、 for Homeland Security 1. 1.11.2Overview Scope This standard describes design and performance criteria along with testing methods for evaluating the performance of instruments for homeland security that are pocket-sized and worn on the body for the purpose of rapid detection of radioactive materials
32、. These instruments are used for detection of photon-emitting, and optionally neutron-emitting, radioactive substances for the purposes of detection, interdiction, and prevention. The performance criteria contained in this standard are meant to provide a means for verifying the capability of these i
33、nstruments to reliably detect significant changes above background levels of radiation and alert the user to these changes. This standard does not apply to instruments that are primarily intended to provide a measurement of dose equivalent, or dose equivalent rate. However, devices that comply with
34、this standard can provide an approximate value of exposure rate. Purpose The purpose of this standard is to specify performance criteria and test methods used to evaluate self-reading, alarming, radiation detection instruments that are pocket-sized, worn on the body, and used to detect the presence
35、of ionizing radiation. 1 Copyright 2007 IEEE. All rights reserved. Copyright The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
