scope:

This test method establishes procedures for measuring the attenuation of X-rays by protective materials at accelerating potentials from 60 to 130 kVp.

This test method provides attenuation values of primary beam X-radiation.

This test method applies to both leaded and non-leaded radiation protective clothing materials.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
