    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Applicable to dosemeters worn on the trunk of the body and used for measuring personal dose equivalents Hp(10) and Hp(0,7) or personal dose equivalent rates to its wearer from external X, gamma and beta radiation. Defines requirements for the dosemeter, and for its corresponding readout system if appropriate.
