What is BS EN 62533- Performance requirements for highly sensitive hand-held instruments about?

BS EN 62533 is a European standard on radiation protection instrumentation that discusses the performance requirements for highly sensitive hand-held instruments for photon detection of radioactive material to ensure radiation protection. BS EN 62533 applies to hand-held instruments used for the detection and localization of radioactive photon emitting materials. Compared to pocket devices, this highly sensitive instrument allows the scanning of larger volume items such as vehicles or containers. They may also be used in fixed or temporarily fixed unattended mode to monitor checkpoints or critical areas. The object of BS EN 62533 is to establish performan...
