Title (German)

Strahlenschutz in der medizinischen Röntgendiagnostik - Teil 2: Durchsichtige Schutzplatten (IEC 61331-2:2014); Deutsche Fassung EN 61331-2:2014

Overview

The International Standard has been prepared by IEC/TC 62/SC 62B "Diagnostic imaging equipment". This standard applies to translucent protective plates used for radiation protection in X-ray diagnosis and in X-ray therapy. It also applies to translucent protective plates used for protection against gamma radiation in nuclear medicine and brachytherapy with automatically-controlled afterloading equipment. It does not cover other translucent radiation protection materials such as, for example, leaded glasses or goggles for protection of the operator's eyes (eye spectacles); leaded face shields, which cover the entire face of the operator; patient eye protection; and thyroid/neck protective devices. This standard deals with the requirements on: - geometrical accuracy; - optical quality of the material; - spectral transmittance; - radiation attenuation properties; - marking; and - statement of compliance with this standard. The responsible German committee is Gemeinschaftsausschuss NAR/DKE NA 080-00-12 GA "Strahlenschutz" (Joint Committee NAR/DKE "Radiation protection") in collaboration with Deutsche Röntgengesellschaft (German Radiological Society).
