BS EN 60544-1:2013

What is BS EN 60544-1 – Radiation interaction and dosimetry about? 

BS EN 60544-1 is a European Standard is part one of multi-series that specifies deals broadly with the aspects to be considered in evaluating the effects of ionizing radiation on all types of organic insulating materials. It also provides, for X-rays, γ-rays, and electrons, a guide to: 

• Dosimetry terminology 
• Methods for dose measurements 
• Testing carried out at irradiation facilities 
• Evaluation and testing of material characteristics and properties 
• Documenting the irradiation process 

Who is BS EN 60544-1 - Radiation interaction and dosimetry for? 

BS EN 60544-1 on radiation interaction and dosimetry is relevant to: 

• Manufacturers of electrical insulating materials 
• Manufacturers of electrical applications 
• Electrical engineers 
• Mechanical industries 

Why should you use BS EN 60544-1 - Radiation interaction and dosimetry? 

BS EN 60544-1 provides you with radiation-induced changes and their evaluation, facilities for irradiation of material samples for evaluation of properties, dosimetry methods, characterization of irradiation facilities, dose mapping of samples for test and monitoring of the irradiation these ensures for determination of the effects of ionizing radiation. 

Overall BS EN 60544-1 is beneficial as it provides dosimetry and other procedures with graphs and examples which helps in detecting and measuring the radiation that you have been exposed to, the evaluation of these properties provides indications of the right materials to be chosen for your specific application needs. With the help of BS EN 60544-1, you can improve the quality of insulating materials.
