INVITED PAPER

On the assessment of the performance of personal dosemeters and individual monitoring services

J. W. E. van Dijk*

NRG Radiation and Environment, PO Box 3094, 6800 ES Arnhem, The Netherlands

* Corresponding author: j.vandijk{at}nrg-nl.com

Based on recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, recommendations and requirements on the performance of dosimetric systems and individual monitoring services have been formulated in national and international standards and other documents of relevance. Although these all have essentially the same aim, the formulated criteria and the guidance given vary. Using the individual monitoring service of NRG in Arnhem and its thermoluminescence dosemeter as an example, the current paper reviews a number of ways to estimate the uncertainty in dose assessments and compares the criteria given in recommendations and standards. An attempt is made to contribute to some convergence of recommendations and requirements on aspects of dosimetric performance.
