Page 1 of 2The purpose of the IEC 62755 standard N42 data format is to facilitate manufacturer-independent transfer of information from radiation measurement instruments used for detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive materials.The IEC 62755 standard specifies the XML data format that shall be used for both required and optional data to be made available by radiation measurement instruments.The output from these instruments consists of measurement data and results of any analysis performed by the radiation measurement instrument.The structure of the data is described by the XML Schema(.xsd)file(needs to be linked to the N42.xsd).This schema file allows XML parsers to validate the format of instrument data documents for this IEC standard:it defines the standard names for data elements and attributes,whether or not they are optional or required for each class of instrument,and the hierarchical relationships between them.Examples of N42 documents for different types of radiation measurement instruments for this standard can be downloaded from here.(link to different examples see list below).Additional tools are provided for the N42 format for this IEC standard.These tools include business rules.These rules have been implemented as an ISO Schematron schema.(link to the n42.sch file).If there are issues viewing these links,it is possible to download the N42AllFiles.zip(link to the zip file)file that contains all the examples,the schemas(N42.xml and N42SchemaAddin.xsd)and the schematron schema(N42.sch).The following examples were developed for different types of radiation measurement instruments:Simple Spectrometer(Need to have 2 files linked under this one.One is Annex B.n42 and the other is Annex B alternate energy calibration.n42)Radionuclide Identifier(Need to link to Annex C)Radiation Portal Monitor(Need to have 2 files linked under this one.One is Annex D.n42 and the other is Annex D alarmed.n42)Spectroscopic Radiation Portal Monitor(Need to link to Annex E)Personal Radiation Detector(Need to link to Annex F)Mobile Instrument(Need to link to Annex G)Page 2 of 2Neutron Handheld Instrument(Need to like to Annex H)Spectroscopic personal radiation detector(Need to link to Annex I)Example of an Extension of the N42.42 Standard(Need to link to Annex L)Contact person:Leticia PibidaNational Institute of Standards and TechnologyEmail:leticia.pibidanist.govPhone:(+1)301-975-5538 IEC 62755 Edition 1.0 2012-10 INTERNATIONAL STANDARD Radiation protection instrumentation Data format for radiation instruments used in the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive materials IEC 62755:2012(E)THIS PUBLICATION IS COPYRIGHT PROTECTED Copyright 2012 IEC,Geneva,Switzerland All rights reserved.Unless otherwise specified,no part of this publication may be reproduced or utilized in any form or by any means,electronic or mechanical,including photocopying and microfilm,without permission in writing from either IEC or IECs member National Committee in the country of the requester.If you have any questions about IEC copyright or have an enquiry about obtaining additional rights to this publication,please contact the address below or your local IEC member National Committee for further information.IEC Central Office Tel.:+41 22 919 02 11 3,rue de Varemb Fax:+41 22 919 03 00 CH-1211 Geneva 20 infoiec.ch Switzerland www.iec.ch About the IEC The International Electrotechnical Commission(IEC)is the leading global organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical,electronic and related technologies.About IEC publications The technical content of IEC publications is kept under constant review by the IEC.Please make sure that you have the latest edition,a corrigenda or an amendment might have been published.Useful links:IEC publications search-www.iec.ch/searchpub The advanced search enables you to find IEC publications by a variety of criteria(reference number,text,technical committee,).It also gives information on projects,replaced and withdrawn publications.IEC Just Published-webstore.iec.ch/justpublished Stay up to date on all new IEC publications.Just Published details all new publications released.Available on-line and also once a month by email.Electropedia-www.electropedia.org The worlds leading online dictionary of electronic and electrical terms containing more than 30 000 terms and definitions in English and French,with equivalent terms in additional languages.Also known as the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary(IEV)on-line.Customer Service Centre-webstore.iec.ch/csc If you wish to give us your feedback on this publication or need further assistance,please contact the Customer Service Centre:csciec.ch.IEC 62755 Edition 1.0 2012-10 INTERNATIONAL STANDARD Radiation protection instrumentation Data format for radiation instruments used in the detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive materials INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION XK ICS 13.280 PRICE CODE ISBN 978-2-83220-
