This standard establishes the classification of certain
\nradioactive self-luminous light sources according to radionuclide,
\ntype of source, activity and performance requirements. The standard
\ndoes not attempt to establish design or safety standards, but
\nleaves the design features to the judgment of the supplier and
\nuser, provided that the performance requirements are met.<\/p>\n
This standard does not specify the luminance of the
\nself-luminous light source; however, many of these sources are used
\nfor safety proposes. Therefore, the luminosity must be commensurate
\nwith the intended use of the source(s).<\/p>\n
Note: Radioactive self-luminous light sources used in or on
\ntimepieces are not covered by this standard. The following
\ndocuments apply to radioluminous timepieces:<\/p>\n
a. International Atomic Energy Agency, Radiation Protection
\nStandards for Radioluminous Timepieces, Safety Series No. 23,
\nVienna, 1967.<\/p>\n
b. International Association for Standardization,
\nRadioluminescence for Time Measurement Instruments \u2013 specifications
\n(ISO 3157), Geneva, 1975.<\/p>\n
c. Nuclear Energy Agency, Radiation Protection Standards for
\nGaseous Tritium Light Devices, Organization for Economic
\nCo\u2013operation and Development, Paris, 1973.<\/p>\n
The objectives of this standard are to establish minimum
\nprototype testing requirements for radioactive self-luminous light
\nsources, to promote uniformity of marking such sources, and to
\nestablish minimum physical performance for such sources.<\/p>\n
This standard is primarily directed toward ensuring adequate
\ncontainment of the radioactive material. Other factors, such as
\nquality control, external radiation levels, radiotoxicity of the
\nradionuclide, its chemical and physical form, and quantity of
\nradioactive material in the source, also shall require
\nconsideration in view of the everpresent objective of keeping
\nexposures as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA). Compliance
\nwith this standard does not necessarily satisfy all requirements
\nfor manufacture and use that may be imposed by governmental
\nregulatory agencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
