Tests are conducted under controlled<br \/>\nconditions and include irradiation with photons, beta particles,<br \/>\nneutrons, and selected mixtures of these radiations. The range of<br \/>\ndelivered absorbed doses or personal dose equivalents and tolerance<br \/>\nlevels are based on considerations of radiation protection<br \/>\nexpressed in current publications of the National Council on<br \/>\nRadiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP 1993), the<br \/>\nInternational Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU<br \/>\n1992), and the International Commission on Radiological Protection<br \/>\n(ICRP 1991, 1997). Organizations should be tested in those<br \/>\ncategories that best represent the dosimetry services they provide<br \/>\nor use. The tests outlined in this standard may be used to test the<br \/>\nsuppliers of dosimetry services (processors).<\/p>\n<p>The standard integrates angular testing using photon fields<br \/>\nincident at various angles to the plane of the dosimeter. Such<br \/>\ntests provide the test participant with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a method to continuously evaluate long-term changes in<br \/>\ndosimeter construction, and<\/li>\n<li>information for improving absorbed dose or personal dose<br \/>\nequivalent estimation under field conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Several dosimetry uses and radiological conditions are outside<br \/>\nthe scope of this standard because of dosimeter design, limitations<br \/>\nof dosimetry systems, and practical considerations of testing<br \/>\nequipment and sources.
