ISO DIS 8529-1 Reference Neutron Radiations - Part 1: Characteristics and Methods of Production

March 27, 2000
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liason with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all maters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 8529-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC85, Nuclear Energy, Subcommittee SC 2, Radiation Protection.
ISO 8529 consists of the following parts, under the general title:
Reference neutron radiations
- Part 1: Characteristics and Methods of Production
- Part 2: Calibration fundamentals related to the basic quantities characterizing the radiation field
- Part 3: Calibration of area and personal dosimeters and determination of their response as a function of neutron energy and angle of incidence
