scope:
This standard specifies minimum performance requirements and performance testing requirements for instruments designed to measure radon progeny in air. Radon progeny has historically been characterized in terms of its potential alpha energy concentration (PAEC), expressed in either units of working level (WL)
or joules × m−3. As WL is the term that is correlated with dose and therefore risk, it is a target for regulatory control and so is therefore considered in this standard. This standard addresses the needs of users, manufacturers, and regulators concerned with radon progeny measurements.
