It also applies to TRANSLUCENT PROTECTIVE PLATES used for protection against GAMMA RADIATION in nuclear medicine and BRACHYTHERAPY with automatically-controlled AFTERLOADING equipment. It does not cover other translucent RADIATION PROTECTION materials, e.g. - leaded glasses or goggles for protection of the OPERATORS' eyes (eye spectacles), - leaded face shields, which cover the entire face of the OPERATOR, - PATIENT eye protection, and - thyroid/neck PROTECTIVE DEVICES. This part 2 deals with the requirements on - geometrical accuracy, - optical quality of the material, - spectral TRANSMITTANCE, - radiation ATTENUATION properties, - marking.
