This part of ISO8529 provides guidance for those who calibrate protection-level dosimeters and dose-rate meters for area and individual monitoring with reference neutron radiations. This includes the determination of the response as a function of neutron energy and angle of incidence. The operational quantities recommended in ICRU Report 43 ([4] in the Bibliography) and in accordance with ICRU Report 47 ([5] in the Bibliography) are considered. In addition to the description of procedures, this part of ISO8529 includes appropriate definitions and conversion coefficients and provides guidance on the statement of measurement uncertainties and the preparation of calibration records and certificates.
NOTE
The characteristics of the reference radiations, their methods of production and their application are described in ISO8529-1 and ISO8529-2.
