Radiological protection - Criteria and performance limits for the periodic evaluation of dosimetry services for external radiation (ISO/FDIS 14146:2024)

Radiological protection - Criteria and performance limits for the periodic evaluation of dosimetry services for external radiation (ISO/FDIS 14146:2024)

The quality of a supplier of a dosimetry service depends on both the characteristics of the approved (type‑tested) dosimetry system[1] and the training and experience of the staff, together with the calibration procedures and quality assurance programmes.
This document specifies the criteria and the test procedures to be used for the periodic verification of the performance of dosimetry services supplying personal and/or area dosemeters.
An area dosemeter can be a workplace dosemeter or an environmental dosemeter.
The performance evaluation can be carried out as a part of the approval procedure for a dosimetry system or as an independent check to verify that a dosimetry service fulfils specified national or international type test performance requirements under representative exposure conditions that are expected or mimic workplace fields from the radiological activities being monitored.
This document applies to personal and area dosemeters for the assessment of external photon radiation with a (fluence weighted) mean energy between 8 keV and 10 MeV, beta radiation with a (fluence weighted) mean energy between 60 keV and 1,2 MeV, and neutron radiation with a (fluence weighted) mean energy between 25,3 meV (i.e. thermal neutrons with a Maxwellian energy distribution with kT = 25,3 meV) and 200 MeV.
It covers all types of personal and area dosemeters needing laboratory processing (e.g. thermoluminescent, optically stimulated luminescence, radiophotoluminescent, track detectors or photographic-film dosemeters) and involving continuous measurements or measurements repeated regularly at fixed time intervals (e.g. several weeks, one month).
Active dosemeters (for dose measurement) may also be treated according to this document. Then, they should be treated as if they were passive (i.e. the dosimetry service reads their indicated values and reports them to the evaluation organization).
[1] If this document is applied to a dosimetry system for which no approval (pattern or type test) has been provided, then in the following text approval or type test should be read as the technical data sheet provided by the manufacturer or as the data sheet required by the regulatory authority.

Strahlenschutz - Kriterien und Mindestanforderungen bei der wiederkehrenden Überprüfung von Dosismessstellen (ISO/FDIS 14146:2024)

Radioprotection - Critères et limites de performance pour l'évaluation périodique des services de dosimétrie (ISO/FDIS 14146:2024)

La qualité d'un prestataire de services de dosimétrie dépend à la fois des caractéristiques du système[1] de dosimétrie homologué (ayant été soumis à un essai de type) et de la formation et de l'expérience du personnel, ainsi que des procédures d'étalonnage et des programmes d'assurance qualité.
Le présent document spécifie les critères et les modes opératoires d'essai à utiliser pour procéder à la vérification périodique de la performance des services de dosimétrie fournissant des dosimètres individuels et/ou des dosimètres de zone.
Un dosimètre de zone peut par exemple être un dosimètre sur poste de travail ou un dosimètre d'environnement.
L'évaluation de performance peut soit faire partie de la procédure d'homologation d'un système de dosimétrie, soit consister en un contrôle indépendant visant à s'assurer qu'un service de dosimétrie satisfait aux exigences de performance liées à un essai de type, spécifiées dans une norme nationale ou internationale, dans des conditions d'exposition représentatives qui correspondent à celles attendues ou simulent les champs de postes de travail des activités radiologiques faisant l'objet d'un suivi dosimétrique.
Le présent document s'applique aux dosimètres individuels et aux dosimètres de zone utilisés pour l'estimation des rayonnements suivants: rayonnement photonique externe d'une énergie moyenne (pondérée par la fluence) comprise entre 8 keV et 10 MeV, rayonnement bêta d'une énergie moyenne (pondérée par la fluence) comprise entre 60 keV et 1,2 MeV et rayonnement neutronique d'une énergie moyenne (pondérée par la fluence) comprise entre 25,3 meV (c'est-à-dire des neutrons thermiques présentant une distribution énergétique maxwellienne avec kT = 25,3 meV) et 200 MeV.
Il couvre tous les types de dosimètres individuels ou de zone nécessitant un traitement en laboratoire (par exemple, dosimètres thermoluminescents, à luminescence stimulée optiquement, radiophotoluminescents, détecteurs de traces ou à films photographiques) utilisés pour réaliser des mesurages continus ou répétés à intervalles réguliers (par exemple, de plusieurs semaines ou d'un mois).
Les dosimètres actifs (pour le mesurage de la dose) peuvent également être traités selon le présent document. Dans ce cas, il convient de les considérer comme des dosimètres passifs (c'est-à-dire que le service de dosimétrie relève les valeurs affichées et les communique à l'organisme d'évaluation).
[1] Si le présent document devait être appliqué à un système de dosimétrie n?ayant reçu aucun agrément (séquence d?essais ou essai de type), alors, dans la suite du texte, il convient que l?homologation ou l?essai de type soient compris comme étant la fiche technique établie par le fabricant ou exigée par les autorités réglementaires.

Passive neutron dosimetry systems - Part 2: Methodology and criteria for the qualification of personal dosimetry systems in workplaces (ISO 21909-2:2021)
SIST EN ISO 21909-2:2023

This document provides methodology and criteria to qualify the dosimetry system at workplaces where
it is used. The criteria in this document apply to dosimetry systems which do not meet the criteria with
regard to energy and direction dependent responses described in ISO 21909-1.
The qualification of the dosimetry system at workplace aims to demonstrate that:
— either, the non-conformity of the dosimetry system to some of the requirements on the energy or
direction dependent responses defined in ISO 21909-1 does not lead to significant discrepancies in
the dose determination for a certain workplace field;
— or, that the correction factor or function used for this specific studied workplace enables the
dosimetry system to accurately determine the conventional dose value with uncertainties similar
to the ones given in ISO 21909-1.
The methodologies to characterize the work place field in order to perform the qualification of the
dosimetry system are given in Annex A. Annex B is complementary as it gives the practical methods to
follow, once one methodology is chosen.
The provider of the dosimetry system shall provide the type test results corresponding to ISO 21909-1.
However, when the dosimetry system to be qualified does not comply with all the criteria of ISO 21909-1
dealing with the energy and angle dependence of the response, some tests of the ISO 21909-1 can be not
performed.

for instance, as disposable or reusable dosemeters, are considered.
This document describes type tests only. Type tests are made to assess the basic characteristics of the
dosimetry systems and are often ensured by recognized national laboratories
This document does not present performance tests for characterizing the degradation induced by the
following:
— intrinsic temporal variability of the quality of the dosemeter supplied by the manufacturer;
— intrinsic temporal variability of preparation treatments (before irradiation and/or before reading),
if existing;
— intrinsic temporal variability of reading process;
— degradation due to environmental effects on the preparation treatments, if existing;
— degradation due to environmental effects on the reading process.

Monitoring radioactive gases in effluents from facilities producing positron emitting radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals (ISO 16640:2021)
SIST EN ISO 16640:2023

This document focuses on monitoring the activity concentrations of radioactive gases. They allow the calculation of the activity releases, in the gaseous effluent discharge from facilities producing positron emitting radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals. Such facilities produce short-lived radionuclides used for medical purposes or research and can release gases typically including, but not limited to 18F, 11C, 15O and 13N. These facilities include accelerators, radiopharmacies, hospitals and universities. This document provides performance‑based criteria for the design and use of air monitoring equipment including probes, transport lines, sample monitoring instruments, and gas flow measuring methods. This document also provides information on monitoring program objectives, quality assurance, development of air monitoring control action levels, system optimisation and system performance verification.
The goal of achieving an unbiased measurement is accomplished either by direct (in-line) measurement on the exhaust stream or with samples extracted from the exhaust stream (bypass), provided that the radioactive gases are well mixed in the airstream. This document sets forth performance criteria and recommendations to assist in obtaining valid measurements.
NOTE 1 The criteria and recommendations of this document are aimed at monitoring which is conducted for regulatory compliance and system control. If existing air monitoring systems were not designed according to the performance criteria and recommendations of this document, an evaluation of the performance of the system is advised. If deficiencies are discovered based on a performance evaluation, a determination of the need for a system retrofit is to be made and corrective actions adopted where practicable.
NOTE 2 The criteria and recommendations of this document apply under both normal and off‑normal operating conditions, provided that these conditions do not include production of aerosols or vapours. If the normal and/or off-normal conditions produce aerosols and vapours, then the aerosol collection principles of ISO 2889 also apply.

The primary purpose of this document is to provide minimum acceptable criteria required to establish a procedure for retrospective dosimetry by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and to report the results.
The second purpose is to facilitate the comparison of measurements related to absorbed dose estimation obtained in different laboratories.
This document covers the determination of absorbed dose in the measured material. It does not cover the calculation of dose to organs or to the body. It covers measurements in both biological and inanimate samples, and specifically:
a)   based on inanimate environmental materials like glass, plastics, clothing fabrics, saccharides, etc., usually made at X-band microwave frequencies (8 GHz to 12 GHz);
b)   in vitro tooth enamel using concentrated enamel in a sample tube, usually employing X-band frequency, but higher frequencies are also being considered;
c)   in vivo tooth dosimetry, currently using L-band (1 GHz to 2 GHz), but higher frequencies are also being considered;
d)   in vitro nail dosimetry using nail clippings measured principally at X-band, but higher frequencies are also being considered;
e)   in vivo nail dosimetry with the measurements made at X-band on the intact finger or toe;
f)    in vitro measurements of bone, usually employing X-band frequency, but higher frequencies are also being considered.
For biological samples, in vitro measurements are carried out in samples after their removal from the person or animal and under laboratory conditions, whereas the measurements in vivo are carried out without sample removal and may take place under field conditions.
NOTE    The dose referred to in this document is the absorbed dose of ionizing radiation in the measured materials.

Evaluating the performance of continuous air monitors - Part 2: Air monitors based on flow-through sampling techniques without accumulation (ISO/TR 22930-2:2020)
SIST-TP CEN ISO/TR 22930-2:2021

The use of a continuous air monitor (CAM) is mainly motivated by the need to be alerted quickly and in the most accurate way possible with an acceptable false alarm rate when significant activity concentration value is exceeded, in order to take appropriate measures to reduce exposure of those involved.
The performance of this CAM does not only depend on the metrological aspect characterized by the decision threshold, the limit of detection and the measurement uncertainties but also on its dynamic capacity characterized by its response time as well as on the minimum detectable activity concentration corresponding to an acceptable false alarm rate.
The ideal performance is to have a minimum detectable activity concentration as low as possible associated with a very short response time, but unfortunately these two criteria are in opposition. It is therefore important that the CAM and the choice of the adjustment parameters and the alarm levels be in line with the radiation protection objectives.
This document describes
—     the dynamic behaviour and the determination of the response time,
—     the determination of the characteristic limits (decision threshold, detection limit, limits of the coverage interval), and
—     a possible way to determine the minimum detectable activity concentration and the alarms setup.
Finally the annexes of this document show actual examples of CAM data which illustrate how to quantify the CAM performance by determining the response time, the characteristics limits, the minimum detectable activity concentration and the alarms setup.
