Note(s) "While the term analytical x-ray equipment generally refers to all types of x-ray diffraction and spectrographic systems designed primarily for performing microscopic examinations or analyzing x-ray spectra of matter at the atomic or crystalline level, it is used in this Safety Code to mean those systems that contain an x-ray tube (or sealed demountable tower) as the source of ionizing radiation ... This document supersedes Safety Code 19: Recommended Safety Procedures for the Selection, Installation and Use of X-Ray Diffraction Equipment."--Foreword, p.3 of 17.
