Introduction

ISO 6980 series covers the production, calibration, and use of reference beta-particle radiation fields for the calibration of dosemeters and dose-rate meters for protection purposes. This document describes the procedures for the determination of absorbed dose rate to a reference depth of tissue from reference beta particle radiation fields. ISO 6980-1 describes methods of production and characterization of the reference radiation. ISO 6980-3 describes procedures for the calibration of dosemeters and dose-rate meters and the determination of their response as a function of beta-particle energy and angle of beta-particle incidence.

For beta particles, the calibration and the determination of the response of dosemeters and dose‑rate meters is essentially a three-step process. First, the basic field quantity, absorbed dose to tissue at a depth of 0,07 mm (and optionally also at a depth of 3 mm) in a tissue-equivalent slab geometry is measured at the point of test, using methods described in this document. Then, the appropriate operational quantity is derived by the application of a conversion coefficient that relates the quantity measured (reference absorbed dose) to the selected operational quantity for the selected irradiation geometry. Finally, the reference point of the device under test is placed at the point of test for the calibration and determination of the response of the dosemeter. Depending on the type of dosemeter under test, the irradiation is either carried out on a phantom or free-in-air for personal and area dosemeters, respectively. For individual and area monitoring, this document describes the methods and the conversion coefficients to be used for the determination of the response of dosemeters and dose-rate meters in terms of the ICRU operational quantities, i.e., directional dose equivalent, H′(0,07;Ω) and H′(3;Ω), as well as personal dose equivalent, Hp(0,07) and Hp(3).
