X-ray Analyzers

▪ Room, cubicle or area in which an x-ray analyser is operated should have at the

entrance an illuminated sign or a sign combined with a light, which is activated

only when the X-ray tube is energised to indicate that the X-ray tube is operating.

▪ The lights provided to indicate operation of the X-ray tube should be fail-safe or

provided with a warning to indicate its failure.

▪ Each X-ray analyser should be clearly labelled to indicate whether it is an

enclosed or a partly enclosed unit.
