This document applies to alarming radiation detection instruments that are pocket-sized,carried on the body and used to detect and indicate the presence and general magnitude ofgamma radiation fields. Neutron detection may also be provided.Personal Radiation Devices (PRDs) alert the user to the presence of a source of radiation thatis distinctly above the measured average local background radiation level. They are notintended to provide a measurement of the ambient or personal dose equivalent rate.The object of this document is to describe design and functional criteria along with testingmethods for evaluating the performance of the PRDs used for detection of illicit trafficking ofradioactive material (e. g., for border radiation monitoring).This document does not apply to the ambient or personal dose equivalent rate meters whichare covered in IEC 60846-1 or IEC 61526, respectively. If the manufacturer states that thePRD can be used for radiation protection purposes, compliance with IEC 60846-1 orIEC 61526 will be needed.
