In this paper, we will present a first (but not complete) status description of active personal dosemeters (APDs) and their implementation in European countries. In modern radiation protection practices, APDs are becoming absolutely necessary operational tools for satisfying the ALARA principle. Despite their success, they are relatively new for individual monitoring of workers. Regulation, legal requirements and calibration procedures are different in European member states. A catalogue of commercially available and prototype devices is presented. Improvement on devices and in implementation of calibration method are expected in the forthcoming years. End-user feedback experience and requirements are reported.
