BS ISO 8529-3:1998

This standard BS ISO 8529-3:1998 Reference neutron radiations is classified in these ICS categories:

• 17.240 Radiation measurements

This part of ISO 8529 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 ISO 8529 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 ISO 8529-1 and ISO 8529-2.

Calibration of area and personal dosimeters and determination of their response as a function of neutron energy and angle of incidence.
