These monitors are large-size permanently mounted-type instruments. These instruments are primarily designed for the detection of radioactive materials emitting gamma rays and neutrons. The specifications for general, radiological, environmental, electromagnetic and mechanical performance are given and the corresponding testing methods are described. The documentation to be provided by themanufacturer is listed as part of the requirements. A number of informative annexes that provideuseful information and guidance in implementing this standard are also contained in thisstandard.
