Neutron reference radiation fields - Part 3: Calibration of area and personal dosemeters and determination of their response as a function of neutron energy and angle of incidence (ISO 8529-3:2023, including corrected version 2023-09)

This document provides guidance for those who calibrate protection-level dosemeters and doserate meters for area and individual monitoring with reference neutron radiation fields. This includes the determination of the response as a function of neutron energy and angle of incidence. The operational quantities recommended in ICRU Report 51 are considered. In addition to the description of procedures, this document includes appropriate definitions and conversion coefficients and provides guidance on the statement of measurement uncertainties.

Dieses Dokument enthält eine Anleitung für diejenigen, die Strahlenschutzdosimeter und Dosisleistungs-mess¬geräte für die Umgebungs- und Personenüberwachung mit Neutronen-Referenzstrahlungsfeldern kalibrieren. Dies schließt die Bestimmung des Ansprechvermögens als Funktion der Neutronenenergie und des Einfalls¬winkels ein. Die in ICRU Report 51 [2] empfohlenen operativen Größen werden berücksichtigt. Zusätzlich zur Beschreibung der Verfahren enthält dieses Dokument geeignete Festlegungen und Konversionskoeffizienten und eine Anleitung für die Angabe der Messunsicherheiten.

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
