Overview

This International Standard specifies fundamental techniques of radiography, with the object of enabling satisfactory and repeatable results to be obtained economically. The techniques are based on generally accepted practice and the fundamental theory of the subject. Standards relating to specific applications should conform to these basic rules. The tests shall be performed by competent personnel qualified and certified in accordance with ISO 9712, if applicable. This standard does not lay down evaluation criteria of the imperfections. WARNING - Exposure of any part of the human body to X-rays or gamma ray can be highly injurious to health. Wherever X-ray equipment or radioactive sources are in use, appropriate legal requirements shall be applied. This document (EN ISO 5579:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 138 "Non-destructive testing", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR (France) in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 135 "Non-destructive testing". The responsible German body involved is Working Committee NA 062-08-22 AA "Industrielle Durchstrahlungsprüfung" ("Industrial radiation methods") at the Materials Testing Standards Committee (NMP) at DIN. Compared to DIN EN 444:1994-04 the following modifications have been made: a) the content of DIN EN 444:1994-04 has been completely and technically almost unchanged adopted; b) Tables 1 and 3 have been supplemented to include Se 75; c) the text of the standard has been slightly editorially revised.
