Radiological protection - General requirements for proficiency tests for in vivo radiobioassay (ISO 23588:2023)

This document specifies general requirements for proficiency tests that are offered to in vivo bioassay measurement facilities operating a whole-body counter (WBC) or partial body counter (PBC) for monitoring of persons.
This document covers proficiency tests that involve only the quantification of radionuclides and tests that require the identification of radionuclides and their activity.
This document does not define specific requirements on administrative aspects of proficiency testing, such as shipping and finance, that may be the subject of national or international regulation.

Strahlenschutz - Allgemeine Anforderungen an Eignungsprüfungen für in‑vivo Bioassays (ISO 23588:2023)

Dieses Dokument legt die allgemeinen Anforderungen für Eignungsprüfungen fest, die Einrichtungen für In-vivo-Inkorporationsmessungen angeboten werden, welche einen Ganzkörperzähler (WBC, en: whole-body counter) oder Teilkörperzähler (PBC, en: partial body counter) zur Überwachung von Personen betreiben.
Es legt außerdem die Mindestanforderungen für Eignungsprüfungen fest, die für Dosimetrie-Laboratorien gelten, die über spezielle Einrichtungen für die In-vivo-Überwachung verfügen und bei denen im Rahmen der Bereitstellung dieser Dienstleistung eine Akkreditierung erforderlich ist. Es enthält darüber hinaus allgemeine Anforderungen für Eignungsprüfungen, bei denen eine größere Gruppe nicht akkreditierter Laboratorien berücksichtigt werden kann, die im Rahmen der Arbeitnehmerüberwachung oder als Reaktion auf einen Notfall Messungen durchführen.
Dieses Dokument behandelt die Eignungsprüfungen, die nur die Quantifizierung von Radionukliden berücksichtigen, sowie die Prüfungen, die die Identifizierung von Radionukliden und deren Aktivität erfordern.
Es legt keine spezifischen Anforderungen für die administrativen Aspekte von Eignungsprüfungen fest, wie z. B. den Versand und die Finanzierung, die Gegenstand nationaler oder internationaler Vorschriften sein können.

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.org/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
