IEEE/ANSI N42.17C-1989

This standard establishes minimum acceptable performance criteria for health physics instrumentation for use in ionizing radiation fields under extreme environmental conditions. Included are testing methods to establish the acceptability of each type of instrumentation. This standard does not specify which instruments or systems are required, nor does it consider the number of specific applications of such instruments. This standard supplements the basic performance requirements for health physics instrumentation as specified in ANSI N42.17A [2]. Specifications in this standard are expected to be called for by the user as required and should not be considered as general specifications.



New IEEE Standard - Active. ANSI N42.17C-1989 American National Standard Performance Specifications for Health Physics InstrumentationPortable Instrumentation for Use in Extreme Environmental Conditions, describes the minimum acceptable performance criteria for health physics instrumentation for use under extreme environmental conditions for monitoring ionizing radiation fields. This standard supplements the basic performance specifications for portable health physics instrumentation presented in ANSI N42.17A-1989.
