Abstract |
This report is an annotated bibliography of standards, regulations, and guides pertaining to medical and dental ionizing radiation protection. Included are annotations of general standards, guides and recommendations; standards on the safe operation, handling, and design of radiation equipment and sources; and standards and guides pertaining to radiation measurement. Since the terminology for regulations, standards, and guides is not uniform among the Federal and State governments, military organizations, and nongovernmental organizations, the annotated documents are designated as Class A (established or adopted by a governmental body acting under the authority of an act, law, or statute), Class B (adopted by consensus of a committee(s) or commission(s) of technical competence in standards-setting organizations), or Class C (not adopted by a standards-setting organization, but contains information pertinent to the preparation of suitable standards or regulations). The annotations include identification of the document, type of standard, intended complier, intended benefitter, limits and specifications, and general guidance. (Author) |
