Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www. iso. org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www. iso.o rg/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www. iso
.org/iso/foreword. html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 12, Quantities and units, in collaboration
with Technical Committee IEC/TC 25, Quantities and units.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 80000-10:2009), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the table giving the quantities and units has been simplified;
— some definitions and the remarks have been stated physically more precisely;
— definitions in this document have been brought in line with their equivalent ones in ICRU 85a.
A list of all parts in the ISO 80000 and IEC 80000 series can be found on the ISO and IEC websites.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
0 Special remarks
0.1 Quantities
Numerical values of physical constants in this document are quoted in the consistent values of the
fundamental physical constants published in CODATA recommended values. The indicated values are
the last known before publication. The user is advised to refer to the CODATA website for the latest
values, https: //physics .nist .gov/cuu/Constants/index .html.
h
The symbol is the reduced Planck constant, it is equal to , where h is the Planck constant.
2π
0.2 Special units
1 eV is the energy acquired by an electron in passing a potential difference of 1 V in vacuum.
0.3 Stochastic and non-stochastic quantities
Differences between results from repeated observations are common in physics. These can arise
from imperfect measurement systems, or from the fact that many physical phenomena are subject to
inherent fluctuations. Quantum-mechanical issues aside, one often needs to distinguish between a
stochastic quantity, the values of which follow a probability distribution, and a non-stochastic quantity
with its unique, expected value (expectation) of such distributions. In many instances the distinction
is not significant because the probability distribution is very narrow. For example, the measurement
of an electric current commonly involves so many electrons that fluctuations contribute negligibly to
inaccuracy in the measurement. However, as the limit of zero electric current is approached, fluctuations
can become manifest. This case, of course, requires a more careful measurement procedure, but perhaps
more importantly illustrates that the significance of stochastic variations of a quantity can depend on
the magnitude of the quantity. Similar considerations apply to ionizing radiation; fluctuations can play
a significant role, and in some cases need to be considered explicitly. Stochastic quantities, such as
the energy imparted and the specific energy imparted (item 10-81.2) but also the number of particle
traversals across microscopic target regions and their probability distributions, have been introduced
as they describe the discontinuous nature of the ionizing radiations as a determinant of radiochemical
and radiobiological effects. In radiation applications involving large numbers of ionizing particles, e.g. in
medicine, radiation protection and materials testing and processing, these fluctuations are adequately
represented by the expected values of the probability distributions. “Non-stochastic quantities” such
as particle fluence (item 10-43), absorbed dose (item 10-81.1) and kerma (item 10-86.1) are based on
these expected values.
This document contains definitions based on a differential quotient of the type dA/dB in which the
quantity A is of a stochastic nature, a situation common in ionizing radiation metrology. In these cases,
quantity A is understood as the expected or mean value whose element ΔA falls into element ΔB. The
differential quotient dA/dB is the limit value of the difference quotient ΔA/ΔB for ΔB → 0. In the remarks
of the definitions falling in this category, a reference to this paragraph is made.
