(1) The licensee or registrant shall maintain enough calibrated and operable radiation survey instruments to make physical radiation surveys as required by the rules contained in this part and Chapter 64E-5, Part III, F.A.C. Such instrumentation shall be able to measure a range from 2 millirem (0.02 mSv) per hour through 1 rem (0.01 Sv) per hour.
    (2) Radiation survey instruments used to establish dose rates shall be calibrated:
    (a) At intervals not to exceed 6 months and after each instrument servicing other than battery replacement;
    (b) At energies and geometries appropriate for use;
    (c) To demonstrate accuracy within 20% of the true radiation level at each point checked;
    (d) For linear scale instruments, at two points located approximately 1/3 and 2/3 of full-scale on each scale; for logarithmic scale instruments, at midrange of each decade and at two points at least one decade apart; and for digital instruments, at three points between 2 millirem (0.02 mSv) per hour and 1 rem (0.01 Sv) per hour; and,
    (e) By a person licensed by the department, another agreement state, licensing state or the NRC.
