1 Scope
This International Standard defines terms and fundamental concepts for the calibration of dosemeters and equipment used for the radiation protection dosimetry of external
radiation — in particular, for beta, neutron and photon radiation. It defines the
measurement quantities for radiation protection dosemeters and doserate meters and gives recommendations
for establishing these quantities . For individual monitoring, it covers whole body and extremity dosemeters (including
those for the skin and the eye lens), and for area monitoring, portable and installed
dosemeters. Guidelines are given for the calibration of dosemeters and doserate meters used for individual and area monitoring in reference radiation fields . Recommendations are made for the position of the reference point and the phantom to be used for personal dosemeters .
This International Standard also deals with the determination of the response as a function of radiation quality and angle of radiation incidence .
It is intended to be used by calibration laboratories and manufacturers.
