Good Folk. We manufacture, amongst many things, X-Ray surface analysis equipment.
One of the X-Ray sources we make runs at 30kV, which brings us into the scope of the 96/29/Euratom Directive of June this year. (>5kV). This directive is primarily concerned with Radioactive substances, isotopes etc, indeed it has about 90 pages of half life tables. My question to the group is: Are there any Standards, Codes of Practice, Directives, Regulations, etc. etc. which relate to Ionizing Radiation when sourced from Bremsstrahlung effects (braking radiation) as arises from electron beam work, for instance, as opposed to radiation from radioactive material. I think that makes sense. Chris Dupres EMC Specialist. VG Microtech. [email protected] tel +44 (0) 1825 761077 fax +44 (0) 1825 768343 'Opinions expressed are personal, not necessarily Corporate'
