UNE-EN ISO 15382:2025

This document provides procedures for monitoring the dose to the skin, the extremities, and the lens ofthe eye. It gives guidance on how to decide if such dosemeters are needed and to ensure that individualmonitoring is appropriate to the nature of the exposure, taking practical considerations into account.This document specifies procedures for individual monitoring of radiation exposure of the skin of the body,extremities (skin of the hands, fingers, wrists, forearms including elbow, lower leg including patella, feetand ankles), and lens of the eye in planned exposure situations. It covers practices which involve a risk ofexposure to photons in the range of 8 keV to 10 MeV, electrons and positrons in the range of 0,07 MeV to1,2 MeV beta mean energies being equivalent to 0,22 MeV and 3,6 MeV beta maximum energy - in accordanceto the ISO 6980 series, and neutrons in the range of thermal to 20 MeV.This document gives guidance for the design of a monitoring program to ensure compliance with legalindividual dose limits. It refers to the appropriate operational dose quantities, and it gives guidance on thetype and frequency of individual monitoring and the type and positioning of the dosemeter. Finally, differentapproaches to assess and analyse skin, extremity, and lens of the eye doses are given.It is not in the scope of this document to consider exposure due to alpha radiation fields.NOTE 1 The requirements for the monitoring of the occupational exposure may be given in national regulations.NOTE 2 Dose to the lens of the eye due to intake of tritium is not in the scope of this document. Moreover, thesituation of the workers that work in contaminated atmosphere and can have alpha and/or radon eye lens dose is alsonot in the scope.
