MS ISO 9978:2020 Radiation protection – Sealed sources – Leakage test methods

Scope:
This International Standard specifies the different leakage test methods for sealed radioactive sources. It gives a comprehensive set of procedures using radioactive and non-radioactive means.

This International Standard applies to the following controls:

– quality control allowing validation of required tests for determining the classification of a prototype sealed radioactive source according to IS0 2919,

– production control of sealed radioactive sources;

– periodic inspections of the sealed radioactive sources performed at regular intervals, during the working life.
