ACCELERATORS AND EXPERIMENT SAFETY

Safety rules for the domain of Accelerators and Experiment Safety

Safety rules according to the new classification

None.

Safety rules according to the old classification

Safety Code A5 - Safety of apparatus for experiments (1990) en fr
The aim is to establish regulations for the construction, installation, testing and operation of experimental apparatus. It sets up the responsibilities between host Departments and outside institutes.

Safety Note NS 19 - Principles to be observed by safety officers depending on the operational state of an experiment (1990) en fr
This is an aid to interpreting Safety Code A5. It defines the operational states of experiments, i.e. "Data taking or test period" or "Off".

In case of contradiction between Safety rules established according to the classification of SAPOCO 42 version February 2003 (old classification) and Safety rules established according to the classification of SAPOCO rev. November 2006 (new classification) the latter prevail.
