IEC 61676 pdf downlaod – Medical electrical equipment – Dosimetric instruments used for non-invasive measurement of X-ray tube voltage in diagnostic radiology
1 Scope and object
This International Standard specifies the performance requirements of instruments as used inthe NON-INVASIVE MEASUREMENT of X-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE up to 150 kV and the relevantcompliance tests.This standard also describes the method for calibration and gives guidancefor estimating the uncertainty in measurements performed under conditions different fromthose during calibration.
Applications for such measurement are found in diagnostic RADIOLOGY includingmammography,coMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT), dental radiology and RADIOSCoPY.This standardis not concerned with the safety aspect of such instruments.The requirements for electricalsafety applying to them are contained in lEC 61010-1.

3Terminology and definitions
For the purposes of this standard the following definitions apply.
The definitions given in this standard are generally in agreement with those in IEC 60788 andthe lSO International vocabulary of basic and general terms in metrology.Any terms notdefined in this subclause have the meanings defined in the above publications or areassumed to be in general scientific usage.
3.1
cORRECTION FACTOR
dimensionless multiplier which corrects the lNDICATED VALUE of an instrument from its valuewhen operated under particular conditions to its value when operated under stated REFERENCEcONDITIONS
3.2
EFFECTIVE RANGE
range of lNDICATED VALUEs for which an instrument complies with a stated performance.Themaximum (minimum) effective INDICATED VALUE is the highest (lowest) in this range
3.3
INDICATED VALUE
the value of quantity derived from the scale reading of an instrument together with any scalefactors indicated on the control panel of the instrument
3.4
INFLUENCE QuANTITY
any external quantity that may affect the performance of an instrument (e.g. ambienttemperature etc.) and any property of the X-RAY EQUIPMENT under test that needs to be takeninto account in using the instrument for NON-INVASIVE MEASUREMENT of X-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE(e.g. range of X-RAY TUBE vOLTAGE,ANODE ANGLE, anode material,TOTAL FILTRATION etc.)
3.5
INSTRuMENT PARAMETER
any internal property of an instrument that may affect the performance of the instrument
3.6
INTRINSIG ERROR
deviation of the MEASURED VALUE (i.e. the lNDICATED VALUE, corrected to REFERENCECONDITIONS) from the cONVENTIONAL TRUEVALUE under STANDARD TEST CONDITIONS
3.7
INVASIVE MEASUREMENT
measurement of the x-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE by external connection of a suitable meter or a highresistance divider
