Intends to measure the direction of an X gamma radiation source in terms of azimuth and elevation angles, the X or gamma air kerma rate at the equipment location, the attenuation coefficient in a given medium and the related effective energy of the X or gamma beam incident to the equipment location.

Specifies general characteristics, general test procedures, electrical, safety and environmental characteristics and the identification certificate for installed, portable or transportable assemblies intended to measure a) the direction of an X or gamma radiation source in terms of azimuth and elevation angles, b) the X or gamma air kerma rate at the equipment location; c) the attenuation coefficient in a given medium.
