BS IEC 60532:2010

This standard BS IEC 60532:2010 Radiation protection instrumentation. Installed dose rate meters, warning assemblies and monitors. X and gamma radiation of energy between 50 keV and 7 MeV is classified in these ICS categories:

• 17.240 Radiation measurements
• 13.280 Radiation protection

IEC 60532:2010 applies to installed dose rate meters, warning assemblies and monitors that are used to prevent or mitigate a minor radioactive release, or minor degradation of fuel, within the nuclear power plants/nuclear facility design basis, and to warn personnel or to ensure their safety during or following events that involve or result in release of radioactivity in the nuclear power plants/nuclear facility, or risk of radiation exposure. This equipment is typically classified as category "A" or "B" or "C" or "not classified" in IEC 61226. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are updates taking account of the requirements of IEC standards published since 1996.
