“X-ray source” means any device, or that portion of any device, that emits X-rays, whether or not the device is an X-ray machine (“source de rayons X”)
“X-ray machine” means an electrically powered device, the principal purpose of which is the production of X-rays (“appareil de radiographie”) “sievert” means a unit of dose equivalent, and for X-rays the dose equivalent measured in sieverts is numerically equal to the absorbed dose measured in grays (“sievert”) “shield” or “shielding” means radiation absorbing material or materials used to reduce the absorbed dose or absorbed dose rate imparted to an object (“blindage”) “redundant”, when used with reference to a light, means a light with two or more separate and equivalent bulbs so designed that the failure of one bulb will not affect the operation of the other bulb or bulbs (“redondant”) (b) a unit of air kerma, and is realized when one joule of energy has been liberated per kilogram of air (“gray”) (a) a unit of absorbed dose, and is realized when one joule of energy has been imparted per kilogram of material, or “failsafe design” means a design in which any failure of safety indicators or components that can reasonably be anticipated causes the production or emission of X-rays to cease (“à sûreté intégrée”)
“dose equivalent” means the product of absorbed dose and a quality factor where the quality factor is a measure of the biological effectiveness of the radiation, and is assigned the value 1.0 for X-rays (“équivalent de dose”) “air kerma” means the sum of the initial kinetic energies per unit mass of all the charged particles liberated by uncharged ionizing radiation in air (“kerma de l’air”)
“absorbed dose” means the mean energy per unit mass imparted by ionizing radiation to matter «dose absorbée» This is the English version of a bilingual regulation. Consolidation Period: From Jto the e-Laws currency date.
