[ RadSafe ] Health Physics Society (HPS) Standards Committee has created a new Web site for the public - ANSI Standards

[Sandy Perle]

The Health Physics Society (HPS) Standards Committee has created a 
new Web site for the public to help inform people about the work the 
HPS does to produce standards.

http://hps.org/hpssc/

The Health Physics Society is secretariat to two Accredited Standards 
Committees (ASCs) — N13 and N43. The two ASCs, along with the HPS 
Standards Committee (HPSSC) and the HPS Standards Coordinator, 
constitute the HPS standards organization.

The primary scopes of the respective organizations are:

The  HPSSC is concerned with integration among the respective HPS 
ASCs and with HPS organizational representation to other national and 
international standards organizations. The HPSSC is charged with 
prioritizing and publishing HPS Standards.

The N13 ASC is concerned with radiation protection of workers and the 
public related to the use, testing, and measurement of radiation.

The N43 ASC is concerned with radiation protection aspects of 
radiation-producing equipment used in industrial and nonmedical 
research and development activities (excluding nuclear reactors).

The HPS Standards Coordinator is concerned with coordination and 
administration of HPS standards activities involving the HPSSC, N13, 
and N43.  

HPS members may get detailed information on the activities of the 
Standards Committees and download PDF files of the standards in the 
Members Only Standards section. ANSI/HPS standards are available to 
the general public at prices ranging from $10.00 to $20.00 each. 
Please use our HPS/ANSI Standards Order Form (PDF: 16,059 bytes) to 
order these standards.

ANSI N42 - Although not directly affiliated with the HPS, this 
committee develops standards in the general area of performance 
specifications for a wide variety of radiation detection and 
measurement instrumentation.  These standards are available for 
purchase directly from ANSI.
