Bibliography

Pertains to all kinds of passive dosimetry systems that are used for measuring: - the personal dose equivalent H[p](10) (for whole body dosimetry), - the personal dose equivalent H[p](0,07) (for both whole body and extremity dosimetry), or - the ambient dose equivalent H*(10) (for environmental dosimetry).

Applies to dosimetry systems that are capable of evaluating doses in the required quantity and unit (Sv) from readout signals in any quantity and unit. The only correction that may be applied to the evaluated dose (indicated value) is the one resulting from natural background radiation using extra dosemeters.
