Review of Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Joint Australian/ New Zealand Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issueof amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that Standards usersensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any amendments thereto.Full details of all Joint Standards and related publications will be found in the StandardsAustralia and Standards New Zealand Catalogue of Publications; this information issupplemented each month by the magazines The Australian Standard and StandardsNew Zealand, which subscribing members receive, and which give details of newpublications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.Suggestions for improvements to Joint Standards, addressed to the head office of eitherStandards Australia or Standards New Zealand, are welcomed. Notication of anyinaccuracy or ambiguity found in a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard should be madewithout delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.
This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 98300.

PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand CommitteeHE/3, Medical Electrical Equipment.This Standard is technically equivalent to and reproduced from IEC 60731:1997, Medical electricalequipmentDosimeters with ionization chambers as used in radiotherapy.
Appendix ZZ provides a variation to IEC 60731 for Australia and New Zealand. The change isindicated by a rule in the margin against the clause affected.
The even numbered pages of the original publication are in French and are omitted from thisversion. Some other pages of the original, which relate to IEC administrative matters, are alsoomitted from this version.
As this publication has been reproduced from an International Standard, the following modificationsapply:
