Abstract:
The purpose of this standard is to specify technical performance requirements and performance testing requirements for those purchasing and using non-alarming Personal Emergency Radiation Detectors PERDs for Homeland Security and other radiological emergency applications.
Scope:
The scope of this standard is to establish minimum performance criteria and test requirements for nonalarming radiation detectors used to manage the exposure of emergency responders to photon radiation. The detectors shall provide rapid and clear indication of the level of radiation exposure. Emergency responders include fire services, law enforcement, and medical services. Other possible users include critical infrastructure key resources (CIKR) such as heavy equipment, transportation, and utilities personnel and members of the public who may be involved in emergency situations.
Purpose:
The purpose of this standard is to specify technical performance requirements and performance testing requirements for those purchasing and using non-alarming personal emergency radiation detectors (PERDs) for Homeland Security and other radiological emergency applications. The users of non-alarming PERDs are responders performing time-sensitive, critical missions such as saving lives, property, and/or otherwise mitigating the effects of radiological emergencies. PERDs can be of two types, either alarming electronic or non-alarming. Both types of PERDs have radiation response ranges appropriate for radiation emergencies. Alarming PERDS are addressed in ANSI ...
