This document specifies the requirements of tracking systems for radioactive materials. Such systems identify and locate the position of the radioactive materials transported using global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and radio frequency identification (RFID).

The system provides a set of safety controls of the radioactive material, by which the transporter can improve safety during transportation. This document may also be used as supplementary guidance to the regulatory body.

The tracking system consists of a measurement unit and a wireless communication unit. The measurement unit includes a radiation detector which measures radiation dose rate and may include a detector to measure the energy spectrum of photons emitted from radioactive materials transported, plus temperature and pressure sensors. The wireless communication unit includes mobile devices, base transceiver systems and mobile service providers.

Radioactive materials to be tracked include all radioactive materials, radioactive sources, radioactive waste and nuclear material, including nuclear fuel and spent fuel, transported using a Type B(U), Type B(M) or Type C package. Other criteria might be considered when the transport index is greater than 1.

This document does not apply to ambient or personal dose equivalent meters, which are covered in IEC 60846-1 or IEC 61526, respectively.
