The work of preparing International Standards is no
30、rmally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in
31、 the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepa
32、re International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that so
33、me of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

35、l gamma-ray emitting radionuclides in water samples by gamma-ray spectrometry using high purity germanium HPGe detectors. Gamma-ray emitting radionuclides are widespread both as naturally occurring and as man-made radionuclides. Therefore, environmental samples usually contain a multitude of differe
36、nt gamma-ray emitters and high resolution gamma-ray spectrometry provides a useful analytical tool for environmental measurements. 5DIN EN ISO 10703:2015-12 EN ISO 10703:2015 (E) WARNING Persons using this International Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This International
37、Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. IMPORTANT It is absolutely essential that test

48、) 5 Principle Gamma rays cause electron-hole pairs when interacting with matter. When a voltage is applied across a semiconductor detector, these electron hole-pairs are, after proper amplification, detected as current pulses. The pulse height is related to the energy absorbed from the gamma-photon
49、or photons in the resolving time of the detector and electronics. By discriminating between the height of the pulses, a gamma-ray pulse height spectrum is obtained. After analysis of the spectrum, the various peaks are assigned to the radionuclides which emitted the corresponding gamma rays using the previously obtained energy detector calibration. The concentration of the radionuclides present in the sample is calculate
