Solid State Dosimetry Standards
According to the latest edition of a World Catalogue of Nuclear Radiation Protection Standards, covering about 100 standard settings bodies from over 60 countries and international organisations, there are currently about 570 mostly national standards, regulations, etc. on radiation protection and dosimetry, 470 standards on more general aspects of radiation protection, 300 on radiation monitoring systems, and 160 on environmental monitoring. About 25 deal specifically with SSD, while many others provide more general criteria and procedures for quality assurance, organisation of personnel and environmental monitoring, clinical dosimetry, etc. TLD and/or RPL standards exist, for example, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Korea, and the US. There are also a few standards on RPL, exoelectron dosemeters and track etching for radon measurements. In addition, some international standards (mostly ISO) deal with TLD personnel and environmental applications, as well as on extremity and eye monitoring for photons and neutrons, others with detection limits, calibration procedures, and other relevant topics.
