IEEE PN42.49.1

New IEEE Standard - Superseded - Draft.
The purpose of this standard is to specify technical performance requirements and performance testing requirements for those purchasing and using non-alarming Personal Emergency Radiation Detectors “PERDs” for Homeland Security and other radiological emergency applications.

This standard establishes minimum performance criteria and test requirements for non-alarming radiation detectors used to manage the exposure of emergency responders to photon radiation.
To emergency responders, it is important to receive a rapid and clear indication of the level of radiation exposure. This standard provides for the evaluation of such radiation detectors.
