Champ d’application

This standard applies to the design, manufacture, installation, and use of industrial X-ray radiographic equipment operating at 500 kV and below. It covers various types of equipment, including general structure, fine structure, special protection, and full protection X-ray machines. Compliance with this standard is mandatory for all manufacturers and operators of such equipment in China, excluding only the normative references chapter. It is primarily relevant to the non-destructive testing (NDT) industry.

Exigences techniques

The standard specifies stringent leakage ray air kerma rate limits for different categories of X-ray machines, measured at specified distances from the focal point or protective housing. It mandates specific structural protection requirements, including safety interlocks for controllers, X-ray output windows, and shielding materials. Manufacturers must ensure that safety facilities automatically cut off power or shield radiation when protective housings are opened or samples are replaced. Furthermore, it outlines occupational exposure dose limits in accordance with GB 18871-2002, requiring routine personal dose monitoring for workers. The standard also defines the boundaries and signage for control areas and supervised areas to prevent unauthorized access during operation.

Méthodes d’essai

Testing involves measuring the leakage ray air kerma rate using protection-level dosimeters under maximum operating conditions specified by the manufacturer. Monitoring instruments must comply with GB/T 17150-1997, featuring specific range, energy response (30 kV to 500 kV), and maximum error limits. Regular monitoring cycles are required: annually for portable and continuously used machines, and biennially for fixed and mobile equipment. Testing environments must maintain a minimum distance of 2m from walls and avoid scattering objects within a 2m radius of the focal point.
