Radiation and radioisotopes have a high value in terms of utilization that can be used inconvergence with various fields. However, due to the specificity of radiation, the use of radiation andradioisotopes is more difficult than in other industrial fields and also involves complex regulations.
There are no clear industrial technology standards in these fields. Therefore, the growth of the radiationindustry, especially including small companies, is being delayed. Since industrial technology standardsplay an important role in providing an institutional basis for the continuous development and settlementof domestic technology, the development of technical standards for the radiation and radioisotopeindustries can lead to systematic growth of the domestic radiation industry. To this end, the technologyclassification of the radiation industry was promoted and classified into 7 major categories, and detailedclassification was divided according to the characteristics of each technology. In addition, a demandand perception survey on the need for industrial technology standards was conducted on RI licensedinstitutions and companies, and as a result, 61.4% responded that it was necessary, and in particular, theyrecognized the need for radiation safety (63.3%). In this paper, the technical classification for the radiationfield is presented as the first step in the development of industrial technical standards for the radiationindustry. In addition, the plan of the current status information and preparation of standard procedures ofeach category will be discussed.
