IEC 61526-2005 pdf – Radiation protection instrumentation – Measurement of personal dose equivalents H p (10) and H p (0,07) for X, gamma, neutron and beta radiations – Direct reading personal dose equivalent meters and monitors.
1 Scope and object This International Standard applies to personal dose equivalent meters with the following characteristics: a) They are worn on the trunk or the extremities of the body. b) They measure the personal dose equivalents H p (10) and H p (0,07) from external X and gamma, neutron and beta radiations, if the radiation can be considered to be continuous. c) They have a digital indication. d) They may have alarm functions for the personal dose equivalents or personal dose equivalent rates. This standard is therefore applicable to the measurement of the following combinations of quantities and radiation 1) H p (10) and H p (0,07) from X and gamma radiations; 2) H p (10) and H p (0,07) from X, gamma and beta radiations; 3) H p (10) from X and gamma radiations; 4) H p (10) from neutron radiations; 5) H p (10) from X, gamma and neutron radiations; 6) H p (0,07) from X, gamma and beta radiations. NOTE 1 When reference is made in this standard to ”dose”, this is meant to indicate personal dose equivalent, unless otherwise stated. NOTE 2 When reference is made in this standard to ”dosemeter”, this is meant to include personal dose equivalent meters and monitors, unless otherwise stated. This standard specifies requirements for the dosemeter and, if supplied, for its associated readout system. This standard specifies, for the dosemeters described above, general characteristics, general test procedures, radiation characteristics as well as electrical, mechanical, safety and envi- ronmental characteristics. The only requirements specified for associated readout systems are those which affect its accuracy of readout of the personal dose equivalent and alarm settings and those which concern the influence of the reader on the dosemeter.
