32、67-1 IEC:2009INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION_ MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT DOSIMETRIC INSTRUMENTS ASUSED IN BRACHYTHERAPY Part 1: Instruments based on well-type ionization chambersFOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardizatio
33、n comprisingall national electrotechnicalcommittees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promoteinternational co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. Tothis end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International St
34、andards, Technical Specifications,TechnicalReports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IECPublication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interestedin the subject dealtwith may participate in thispreparat
35、ory work. International,governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in thispreparation. IEC collaborates closelywith the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined byagreement between the two organizations.
36、2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearlyas possible, an internationalconsensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from allinterested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommenda
37、tions for international use and are accepted by IEC NationalCommittees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IECPublications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for t he way in which theyare used or for anymisinterpretation by any end us
38、er.4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC NationalCommittees undertake to apply IEC Publicationstransparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergencebetween any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication sha
39、ll be clearly indicated inthe latter.5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for anyequipment declared to be in conformitywith an IEC Publication.6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.7) No liability
40、shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts andmembers of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage orother damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including le
41、gal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of,or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IECPublications.8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications isindispensable for the correct application of this public
42、ation.9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject ofpatent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.International Standard IEC 62467-1 has been prepared bysubcommittee62C, Equipmentforrad

48、HAMBER instrumentscurrently being used forBRACHYTHERAPY sourcesindicates the need for a standard for uniformity in measurement and test techniques for WELL- TYPE IONIZATIONCHAMBER instruments. Measurements ofthe output ofBRACHYTHERAPY sources have distinct requirements that differ from the assay of
49、sources usedin diagnostic nuclear medicine. This translatesinto the requirements for the measurement devices. Many times similar instrumentation is used for both applications; however, there aretighter requirements for those instruments used for BRACHYTHERAPY sources. Such devicesare composite systemsconsist ing of an IONIZATION CHAMBER, either integrally coupled orconnected to appropriate electronic c ircuitry that convertsthe ionization current t o a readout, which can be converted to a quant
