GBZ 175-2006 Standards for radiation protection of γ-ray industrial computed tomography
1 Scope
This standard specifies the protective performance of γ-ray industrial computed tomography (CT) equipment, the protective facilities of the test room and the radiation protection requirements for γ-ray industrial computed tomography equipment during use and maintenance.
This standard is applicable to γ-ray industrial computed tomography equipment with a sealed radioactive source activity greater than or equal to 4×1010 Bq and its scanning testing practice; it also applies to γ-ray industrial computed tomography equipment with a sealed radioactive source activity less than 4×1010 Bq and its scanning testing practice by reference.
