Per the requirements of NCRP Reports # 49 and #147 and other radiation,health and safety codes and general "good practices":

• "All lead lined doors,vision lites,x-ray glass, lead lined frames and lead backed drywall must provide a lead shielding equivalent of equal or greater value as the specific wall or partition they occur in,as specified by the project physicists of record or other "qualified experts"radiation shielding calculations report recommendations and requirements".(customer to verify required lead thickness values and equivalents prior to ordering).
• Doors must be shielded with same lead thickness value (or greater) as partition or wall the door occurs in.
• Doors must be internally shielded with a single sheet of lead covering full height and width of door(or double 1/2 value thicknesses=total value).
• Basically for radiation safety and general medical construction guidelines requires as a "good practices" rule,that the gap at the x-ray room shielded door bottom between the finished floor should always be kept as small as practically and reasonably possible.
• Lead thresholds and / or shielded door sweeps are required at the bottom of the door openings when a gap of 2.5cm ( 1 inch ) or more exists between the bottom of the door and the floor in order to prevent or reduce possible radiation leakage or streaming.
• Door lockset hardware should be lead lined if lead value requirement is more than 1/16" thick,or anytime required in project specifications.
• Any vision lite view window frame occurring in a door must be lead lined and have x-ray safety glass both providing an equivalent (or greater)lead shielding value of protection as in the door it occurs in. (Note:If in a fire rated door an additional layer of clear fire rated ceramic or other approved and labeled glazing is required,such fire-resistant glazing must also be impact resistant and additionally have passed the required hose stream test).
• Any lead glass occurring in a shielded door must be x-ray safety glass and permanently labeled for meeting the impact resistance requirements of ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Category 2. (Note:X-ray safety glass is not a"tempered"product, and is readily available from Ray-Bar ).
• Door must have interlock switch so that x-ray machine can not be activated when door is open or ajar,or x-ray machine operation is interrupted if door is inadvertently opened during an x-ray procedure.
• An "X-Ray On" red/white lighted sign over x-ray room door opening on entrance side is recommended to reduce the possibility of personnel opening the door during an x-ray procedure.Light to be tied into machine so as to turn on during any x-ray machine activation.
• Door frame to be hollow metal and lead-lined in same lead thickness value as in surrounding wall or partition,on radiation source side.
• Frame throat to be lead-lined on radiation source side,and well into formed stop area to allow the required 1/2" overlap between door and frame.
• Lead backed drywall must properly overlap into door frame jamb throat a minimum 1/2" to prevent or reduce any possible radiation leakage, and additionally to meet proper fire-rated partition construction and design requirements where required.Any fire-rated lead lined partitions or walls must utilize properly UL classified and labeled lead backed gypsum drywall, such as type "RB-LBG",with the proper lead thickness value in such wall or partition as specified by the medical radiation physicist of record or other "qualified experts" shielding report recommendations.

RAY-BAR ABUSE RESISTANT SHIELDED DOORS
Ray-Bar Lead Lined Shielded Wood Doors or Lead Lined Shielded Metal Doors are available in all standard lead shielding thicknesses with abuse resistant laminated faces added to address the reality of heavy function and impacts associated with most high volume traffic hospital and medical settings and environments, for dependable durability,low maintenance and providing a longer service life by reducing replacement and repairs, with Kydex or Acrovyn face laminations available in many current aesthetically pleasing and popular colors,patterns and designs. These Ray-Bar X-Ray door finishes provide both good looks and an easily cleanable surface,with a protective plastic "armor" cladding of the doors face surfaces to minimize impact damage due to gurneys,wheel chairs and other medical equiptment. Please contact Ray-Bar directly to review your specific project and design needs.
