AS/NZS IEC 61331.3:2022 is a standard that focuses on protective devices against diagnostic medical X-radiation. It specifically covers protective clothing, eyewear, and protective patient shields. The standard is based on the international standard IEC 61331 3:2014 (ED.2.0), which sets out the requirements for these protective devices.

The purpose of this standard is to ensure the safety of individuals who are exposed to X-radiation during radiological examinations and interventional procedures. It aims to provide guidelines for the design, performance, and testing of protective clothing, eyewear, and patient shields to minimize the risks associated with X-radiation exposure.

By adopting the IEC 61331 3:2014 (ED.2.0) standard, AS/NZS IEC 61331.3:2022 aligns with international best practices and ensures consistency in safety measures for diagnostic medical X-radiation across Australia and New Zealand. It serves as a comprehensive reference for manufacturers, healthcare facilities, and regulatory bodies in evaluating and selecting appropriate protective devices to safeguard individuals from X-radiation hazards.
