Wipe Test
Wipe Test
Before leaving the factory, each ECD is leak tested for surface radio
contamination by means of the Wipe Test method. Each detector is provided with
a Wipe Test Certificate reporting the results of the values found and the
procedure followed.
NOTE
The users of the ECD detector in the United States are required to perform a Wipe Test on
their ECD at intervals not exceeding 3 years (36 months), following the reported procedure.
For other Countries, please refer to the appropriate agency for equivalent requirements.
