1. Rationale
This standard is comprehensive in scope, which has made it unwieldy. Roughly speaking, 4 sections exist: gamma, beta and alpha spectrometry, and liquid scintillation. With the gamma section, 3 major subsections exist, with highly redundant information. A more parallel and streamlined revision of these subsections will be undertaken.
