CRCPD - Ronald Fraass, Executive Director 5/4/2019 ANSI Standards Four new standards dealing with instruments for homeland security N42.32 through N42.35 CRCPD provided some comments on initial drafts Primary effect on industry but purchases with federal funds may require instruments to meet standards. N42.32 is for Alarming Personal Radiation Detectors for Homeland Security N42.33 is for Portable Radiation detection Instrumentation for Homeland Security N42.34 is for Hand-held Instruments for the Detection and Identification of Radionuclides N42.35 is for Radiation Detection Portal Monitors for Use in Homeland Security All are available for a fee from IEEE at http://shop.ieee.org/store/default.asp?tabtype=stand Appear to be a “gold” standard. Responders may be quite capable with older or current instruments that do not meet the standard. Standards are quite robust. Industry has begun submitting instruments for testing by DOE laboratories. 5/4/2019 A Partnership Dedicated to Radiation Protection A Partnership Dedicated to Radiation Protection
