Source container FQG66 Repair
Hauser 39
The following conditions must be met before returning the device:
• An inspection certificate no more than three months old and confirming the leak-
tightness of the radiation source must be submitted to Hauser (wipe test
certificate). The wipe test can be performed on the source itself or on substitute wipe
surfaces as defined in the "Maintenance work" section.
• The serial number of the radiation source, the type of isotope ( 60 Co or 137 Cs), , the
nominal activity and the date of manufacture of the radiation source as per the radiation
source certificate must be provided. This information can be found in the documents
supplied with the radiation source.
• The container may not show severe signs of corrosion, which could call into question the
safe storage of the source.
• The container may not show signs of serious mechanical damage from fire, falls or
collisions.
• The "EIN/ON" and "AUS/OFF" mechanism must be in correct working order, as described
in the "Operation" section.
• The source container must be secured in the "AUS/OFF" position using the lock pin.
• If there are any doubts about the integrity of the source container, the source must be
returned in a separate Type A transportation cask. Contact your Hauser sales
office for this purpose.
• The aforementioned checks must be confirmed in an inspection report. The inspection
report must be enclosed when returning the product.
• The transport index must be determined in accordance with IAEA safety requirements
TS-R-1
( https://www.iaea.org/publications/7987/security-in-the-transport-of-radioactive-
material ) or in accordance with national standards. The radiation source container and
any secondary packaging must be labeled accordingly.
• The leak test certificate, the manufacturer's certificate for the radiation source and the
duly completed pre-return inspection report must be sent to Hauser in advance
before returning the device.
Following successful inspection, the FQG6x source container is suitable for shipment
as a Type A package. The Type A labeling on the radiation source container itself is,
however, no longer valid for any subsequent device returns. Before the container is
returned, it must be relabeled according to international regulations concerning the
transportation of hazardous materials (ADR/RID, DGR/IATA).
