| Zusammenfassung | The European Union Council directive 96/29/EURATOM requires that "individual monitoring shall be... based on individual measurements which are established by an approved dosimetric service" and that "Each Member State shall make arrangements to recognise, as appropriate, the capacity of ... approved dosimetric services". At present, approval of dosimetric services does not have the same meaning with EU Member States and Switzerland. In some countries, service and dosimeter approval is clearly separated, in some others only one of the two is supposed to be tested, and in others no approval is required. Dosimetric requirements and criteria are based on different international documents (e.g. IEC, ISO, ANSI, CEC report) or national specific rules. Approval frequency can be once every 2 or more year. Approval can be based on either evaluation of technical and management reports, irradiation tests, inspection on-site or the three steps together. In most cases, approval involves photon dosimetry while beta and neutron dosimetry test procedures are not as well established. However, comparisons may lead to some conergent evolution of procedures and to a greater degree of harmonisation and quality consolidation. |
