HPS N43.9-2015 PDF Download

The HPS N43.9-2015 standard focuses on ensuring the design, testing, and performance requirements for industrial gamma radiography system equipment using sealed radioactive sources. It also includes specifications for source changers. The standard emphasizes the qualification requirements for individuals involved in the design, fabrication, assembly, testing, repair, or modification of such equipment. However, it is important to note that this standard does not cover the operational use of this equipment. The standard distinguishes between requirements that must be met ("shall") and advisory recommendations that should be followed ("should"). Additionally, if exposure devices are to be used as radioactive material transport packages, compliance with current applicable transport regulations is necessary.
