IEC 61098 Ed. 3.0 b:2023

This document applies to contamination monitors that include warning assembles and meters used for the monitoring of radioactive contamination on the surface of personnel whether they be clothed or not. The document is applicable only to that type of equipment where the user stays at the monitor. It is not applicable to the user passes quickly through the monitor. It is also not applicable to any peripheral equipment which can be associated with a particular type of equipment such as small article monitors. Probes (friskers) for measuring clothes or body by the person under monitoring or someone else are included in this document. The probes (friskers) are always connected to the monitor.

This document is applicable to the monitoring of the whole body (including the head), hands and feet, but parts of this document can be used for monitors designed for the monitoring of radioactive contamination on the hands and/or feet only. This document does not include tritium measurement.

This document is applicable to:
– installed personnel monitor (all clauses applicable);
– transportable personnel monitor (all clauses applicable);
– monitor for monitoring the hands (see the following clauses and subclauses: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.1.3, 7.2, 7.3.4, 7.4.2.2 b), 7.4.3, 7.4.4.1, 7.4.4.2, 7.4.4.3 b), 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14);
– monitor for monitoring the feet (see the following clauses and subclauses: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.1.4, 7.2, 7.3.5, 7.4.2.2 c), 7.4.3, 7.4.4.1, 7.4.4.2, 7.4.4.3 c), 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14); and
– monitor for monitoring the hands and feet (including probe (frisker) for whole body measurement) (see the following clauses and subclauses: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.1.3, 7.1.4, 7.1.5, 7.2, 7.3.4, 7.3.5, 7.3.6, 7.4.2.2 b), 7.4.2.2 c), 7.4.2.2 d), 7.4.3, 7.4.4.1, 7.4.4.2, 7.4.4.3 b), 7.4.4.3 c), 7.4.4.3 d),7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14).

The object of this document is to define mechanical and operational characteristics, minimum performance characteristics and general test procedures for personnel monitors.
