Proposed American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard fortraceability of radioactivity sources to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Abstract

A draft American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for the traceability of radioactivity standards to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been developed by ANSI Subcommittee N42.2 for Radioactivity Measurements. The standard provides an acceptable methodology for suppliers of certified radioactivity sources to demonstrate traceability to NIST. The standard requires the implementation of a quality assurance program as specified in the standard and demonstration of measurement traceability through participation in a NIST Measurements Assurance Program (MAP).
