INCERTAIN DEVICES TO BE DISTRIBUTED
FOR USE UNDER GENERAL LICENSEE
A. INTRODUCTION
Section 32.51, "Certain Measuring, Gauging orControlling Devices Gencrally Licensed Under §31.5 ofthis Chapter:
Requirements for License to Distribute,"
of 10 CFR Part 32, "Specific Licenses to Manufacture, Distribute, or Import Exempted and Generally LicensedItems Containing Byproduct Material,"
requires, in part,that each application for a specific license to distribute devices containing byproduct material to personsgenerally licensed under §31.5 of IOCFR Part 31include sufficient information relating to qualification testing of a prototype unit to provide reasonable assurance that the byproduct material contained in thedevice will not be lost. Frequently, retention of thebyproduct material within the device is dependent uponthe containment properties of a. sealed source. Thisregulatory guide identifies terminology acceptable to theRegulatory staff for describing the containment properties of a sealed source based on prototype testing.
B. DISCUSSION
The USA Standards Institute Committee N5.4, nowthe American National Standards Institute Committee N43-3.3, developed a classification system for sealedsources (USASI N5.10. 1968).' To classify a sealedsource under the system, a determination is made of itsability to withstand the conditions of eachenvironmental test prescribed in the standard.
Classification is determined by physically testing twoprototype sources for each test or by calculations basedon previous tests which demonstrate that, if the sourcewere tested, it would pass. Maintenance of containment integrity after each test constitutes satisfactory performance of a source.C. REGULATORY
POSITIONThe sealed source classification system contained inUSASI N5.10.1968'
provides acceptable terminology for use in describing the containment properties of asealed source used in a device intended for distribution for use under the general license in §31.5 of I0 CFRPart 31. When the classification system is so used, theapplicant should state whether calculational techniques or physical testing techniques were applied.
If the latterwere applied, the integrity (leak) test(s) used todetermine conformity with the assigned classification should be identified and described.
