Radiological protection - Procedures for monitoring the dose to the lens of the eye, the skin and the extremities (ISO 15382:2025)
This document provides procedures for monitoring the dose to the skin, the extremities, and the lens of the eye. It gives guidance on how to decide if such dosemeters are needed and to ensure that individual monitoring is appropriate to the nature of the exposure, taking practical considerations into account.
This document specifies procedures for individual monitoring of radiation exposure of the skin of the body, extremities (skin of the hands, fingers, wrists, forearms including elbow, lower leg including patella, feet and ankles), and lens of the eye in planned exposure situations. It covers practices which involve a risk of exposure to photons in the range of 8 keV to 10 MeV, electrons and positrons in the range of 0,07 MeV to 1,2 MeV mean beta energies being equivalent to 0,22 MeV and 3,6 MeV beta maximum energy - in accordance to the ISO 6980 series, and neutrons in the range of thermal to 20 MeV.
This document gives guidance for the design of a monitoring programme to ensure compliance with legal individual dose limits. It refers to the appropriate operational dose quantities, and it gives guidance on the type and frequency of individual monitoring and the type and positioning of the dosemeter. Finally, different approaches to assess and analyse skin, extremity, and lens of the eye doses are given.
It is not in the scope of this document to consider exposure due to alpha radiation fields.
NOTE 1 The requirements for the monitoring of the occupational exposure may be given in national regulations.
NOTE 2 Dose to the lens of the eye due to intake of tritium is not in the scope of this document. Moreover, the situation of the workers that work in contaminated atmosphere and can have alpha and/or radon eye lens dose is also not in the scope.

Radioprotection - Procédures pour la surveillance des doses au cristallin, à la peau et aux extrémités (ISO 15382:2025)
Le présent document fournit des procédures de surveillance des doses à la peau, aux extrémités et au cristallin. Il fournit des recommandations pour déterminer si des dosimètres sont nécessaires et s’assurer que la surveillance individuelle est adaptée à la nature de l’exposition, en prenant en compte les aspects pratiques.
Le présent document spécifie des procédures de surveillance individuelle de l’exposition aux rayonnements de la peau du corps, des extrémités (peau des mains, doigts, poignets, avant-bras, y compris le coude, bas de la jambe, y compris la rotule, pieds et chevilles) et du cristallin dans les situations d’exposition planifiées. Il concerne les pratiques qui impliquent un risque d’exposition à des photons dont l’énergie est comprise entre 8 keV et 10 MeV, des électrons et positrons dont l’énergie est comprise entre 0,07 MeV et 1,2 MeV avec des énergies bêta moyennes équivalentes à 0,22 MeV et une énergie bêta maximale de 3,6 MeV, conformément à la série ISO 6980, et des neutrons dont l’énergie est comprise entre la valeur thermique et 20 MeV.
Le présent document fournit des recommandations pour la conception d’un programme de surveillance permettant de s’assurer du respect des limites légales de dose individuelle. Il se rapporte aux grandeurs dosimétriques opérationnelles appropriées et fournit des recommandations sur le type et la fréquence de surveillance individuelle ainsi que sur le type et l’emplacement du dosimètre. Il décrit enfin différentes méthodes permettant d’évaluer et d’analyser les doses à la peau, aux extrémités et au cristallin.
L’exposition due à des champs de rayonnements alpha ne relève pas du domaine d’application du présent document.
NOTE 1 Les exigences en matière de surveillance de l’exposition professionnelle peuvent être stipulées dans les réglementations nationales.
NOTE 2 La dose au cristallin due à l’absorption de tritium ne relève pas du domaine d’application du présent document. La situation des travailleurs qui interviennent dans une atmosphère contaminée et qui peuvent être exposés à une dose alpha et/ou de radon au cristallin ne relève pas non plus de son domaine d’application.
