Bibliography
Taking into account the neutron sources defined in ISO 8529-1, it specifies the procedures for realizing the calibration conditions of radiation protection devices in neutron fields produced by these calibration sources, particularly emphasizing the corrections of extraneous effects (e.g. the neutrons scattered from the walls of the calibration room).

This part of ISO 8529 takes as its starting point the neutron sources described in ISO 8529-1. It specifies the procedures to be used for realizing the calibration conditions of radiation protection devices in neutron fields produced by these calibration sources, with particular emphasis on the corrections for extraneous effects (e.g., the neutrons scattered from the walls of the calibration room).
In this part of ISO 8529, particular emphasis is placed on calibrations using radionuclide sources (clauses 4 to 6) due to their widespread application, with less details given on the use of accelerator and reactor sources (8.2 and 8.3).
This part of ISO 8529 then leads to ISO 8529-3 which gives conversion coefficients and the general rules and procedures for calibration.
