an officially prescribed symbol (a magenta or black trefoil) on a yellow background that must be displayed where certain quantities of radioactive materials are present or where certain doses of radiation could be received
Good to know
Kiirgusohumärgise taustavärv on kollane (ISO 361, Basic ionizing radiation symbol), selgitav tekst ja kolmikleht on musta värvi.
In 2007, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) created a supplement designed to provide a clearer warning, for people not familiar with the traditional symbol. In addition to a black trefoil with waves of radiation streaming from it, the ISO/IAEA radiation warning symbol features a black skull and crossbones and a symbol of a man running toward an arrow, and away from the radiation. Unlike the original trefoil, this symbol is meant to provide a final warning and is placed only on devices that house radiation sources – like food irradiation and cancer therapy equipment – to clearly communicate that dismantling the device presents the risk of death or serious injury.
Kiirgusohumärgis kinnitatakse: 1) kiirgusallika asukohaks oleva ruumi uksele; 2) radioaktiivse aine ja radioaktiivsete jäätmete hoiukoha uksele ning radioaktiivsete jäätmete kogumise anumatele; 3) kiirgusallika konteinerile ja võimaluse korral kiirgusallikale; 4) statsionaarse kiirgusallika vahetusse lähedusse.
No person shall possess a container or device that contains a radioactive nuclear substance unless the container or device is labelled with (a) the radiation warning symbol ... and the words “ RAYONNEMENT — DANGER — RADIATION”; and (b) the name, quantity, date of measurement and form of the nuclear substance in the container or device.
