Bill, I am not in my office at the moment, but I believe that what
you should look at is 
ANSI N42.14-1991, Calibration and Use of Germanium Spectrometers for the
Measurement of Gamma-Ray Emission Rates of Radionuclides, $156.00 from
ANSI.  I am pretty sure that this is the standard that I have used in
our laboratory.  I will verify this on Monday and get back in contact with
you if I find differently.  You should also refer to Regulatory
Guide 4.15, which deals with Laboratory QA (I don't have the exact
title at the moment, sorry).

If you need any further information, I will be in my office on
Monday, and would be happy to assist you.

Best regards.
