International Standard ISO 29661:2012
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. ISO
29661:2012 also deals with the determination of the response as a function of
radiation quality and angle of radiation incidence. ISO 29661:2012 is intended
to be used by calibration laboratories and manufacturers.
