Dosimeter characteristics and service performance requirements

  • 1. Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig (Germany)
  • 2. National Radiological Protection Board, Chilton (United Kingdom)

Description

The requirements for personal dosimeters and dosimetry services given by ICRP 26, ICRP 35, ICRP 60 and ICRP 75 are summarised and compared with the requirements given in relevant international standards. Most standards could be made more relevant to actual workplace conditions. In some standards, the required tests of energy and angular dependence of the response are not sufficient, or requirements on overall uncertainty are lacking. (author)
