ISO/TC 85 develops standards, through its 3 subcommittees (SC) and its 3 working groups.
SC 2 Radiological protection
Standardization in the field of the protection of individuals (workers, patients, members of the public) and the environment against all sources of ionizing radiations in planned, existing or emergency exposure situations linked to nuclear activities, medical activities, industrial activities, research activities and natural radiation sources. It includes notably standardization for the design and use of equipment/systems/sources, metrology of radiation, dosimetry and related protocols, monitoring and measurement methods for the environment, control of goods and materials that may contain radioactive substances.
SC 5 Nuclear installations, processes and technologies
Standardization and promotion of good practices associated with the planning, construction, operation and decommissioning of installations, processes and technologies involving radioactive materials. Nuclear installations, processes and technologies include: the Fuel Cycle, ex-reactor nuclear criticality safety, analytical methodologies, transport of radioactive materials, materials characterization, radioactive waste management and decommissioning.
SC 6 Reactor technology
Standardization in the field of nuclear power plants and research reactors.
It includes calculation, analysis and measurements in support of physics of power reactor core design and operation, siting, design, construction, operation and decommissioning. Siting includes all types of nuclear installations and all topics such as flooding, seismic hazards, etc. Research reactors include a large variety of facilities: production of neutron beams, irradiation of specimens, production of isotopes (especially production for nuclear medicine) and test reactors or prototypes of new technologies.
----------------------
WG 1 Terminology
to develop, maintain and promote standards in the field of TC/85 WGs and SCs. The development of these standards is based on the documents produced by ISO/TC37 “Terminology and other language and content resources”. The objective of ISO/TC 85/WG 1 is to review the vocabularies used by different TC85 subcommittees and working groups and draft standards containing updated, commonly used terminological data not only in ISO but in other organizations such as IAEA.
WG 3 Dosimetry for radiation Processing
to develop, maintain and promote standards on practices, methods and guides for use of dosimetry in ionizing radiation processing applications including medical products, pharmaceuticals, foods, polymers, and other consumer products. To encourage use of these standards in the radiation processing industry through meetings, workshops, and symposia.
