Full title and description

St ISO 18589-1-2005 rus — Russian-language edition of ISO 18589-1:2005, "Measurement of radioactivity in the environment — Soil — Part 1: General guidelines and definitions". This document provides general guidance and definitions for planning, sampling and laboratory procedures when measuring radioactivity in soils and related materials; the Russian version was prepared under the responsibility of GOST R (Russian Federation).

Abstract

Part 1 of ISO 18589 gives general principles for studies of soil radioactivity: terms and definitions, origins of radioactivity in soils (natural and anthropogenic), objectives of soil radioactivity studies, sampling strategy and planning, laboratory processes, basic procedural requirements and documentation. It is intended to be used together with the other parts of ISO 18589 that cover sampling details and specific measurement techniques.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn / superseded (original 2005 edition; later replaced by ISO 18589-1:2019).
• Publication date: 2005 (first edition, published May 2005 in English; national translations including a Russian edition were issued subsequently).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO); national body responsibility for the Russian text: GOST R / Russian standards body.
• ICS / categories: 13.280 (Radiation protection), 17.240 (Radiation measurements) — environmental radioactivity and radiation protection categories.
• Edition / version: First edition (ISO 18589-1:2005). The series was later revised and the part was republished as ISO 18589-1:2019 (second edition).
• Number of pages: Approximately 13–14 pages in the original ISO/national publications (page counts vary by publisher/translation).

Scope

Provides general guidelines and definitions for the measurement of radioactivity in soils and soil-like materials. The part covers terms and symbols, origins of radioactivity in soils (natural and artificial), objectives for soil radioactivity studies, planning and sampling strategy, laboratory processing, general procedural requirements and documentation. It is intended for use when measuring radioactivity for radiation protection purposes, environmental surveillance, incident/accident investigation, remedial actions, decommissioning and clearance activities.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and terminology relevant to soil radioactivity measurement (soil types, sampling terms, radionuclide descriptors).
• Sources and origins of radioactivity in soils (natural radionuclides, technologically enhanced NORM, and artificial radionuclides).
• Objectives for environmental and radiation‑protection driven soil studies and how objectives guide sampling/analysis.
• Planning and sampling strategy: representative sampling, sampling plans, chain of custody and documentation principles.
• Laboratory processes and basic QA/QC: sample preparation, measurement principles, documentation and reporting requirements.
• Recommendations to be used in conjunction with parts 2–6 of ISO 18589 that provide sampling details and radionuclide‑specific measurement methods.

Typical use and users

This standard is used by environmental laboratories, radiation protection authorities, regulatory agencies, nuclear and industrial site managers, remediation planners, and researchers performing soil radioactivity surveys or monitoring. It guides program planners and laboratory personnel in setting up sampling strategies, ensuring consistent terminology, and documenting measurements for regulatory and scientific purposes.

Related standards

ISO 18589 is a multipart series. Relevant related parts include ISO 18589-2 (sampling strategy, sampling and pre-treatment), ISO 18589-3 (measurements of gamma-emitting radionuclides), ISO 18589-4 (measurement of plutonium by alpha spectrometry), ISO 18589-5 (measurements of strontium-90) and ISO 18589-6 (measurements of gross alpha and gross beta activities). The 2005 edition of Part 1 has been revised and superseded by ISO 18589-1:2019 (2nd edition), so users should consult the later edition for the most up-to-date consolidated guidance.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is the Russian edition (St ISO 18589-1-2005 rus) of ISO 18589-1:2005, which provides general guidelines and definitions for the measurement of radioactivity in soils.

Q: What does it cover?

A: General requirements and principles for studies of soil radioactivity, including terminology, origins of radioactivity in soils, objectives of studies, sampling strategy and planning, laboratory processing, QA/QC considerations and documentation. It is intended to be used with other parts of ISO 18589 that give detailed sampling and measurement methods.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Environmental and analytical laboratories, radiation protection and regulatory bodies, site managers, remediation teams, and researchers involved in soil radioactivity surveys and monitoring.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2005 edition has been superseded by a later edition — ISO 18589-1:2019 (second edition). National reprints/translations of the 2005 text may remain in circulation, but for the latest consolidated guidance users should consult the 2019 edition or their national standards body for adoption status.

Q: Is it part of a series?
