ISO 10647:1996 PDF

Scope: This International Standard specifies procedures for the calibration of neutron-measuring devices used for radiation protection purposes, and for determining their response as a function of energy, angle of incidence and dose equivalent rate, using the neutron reference radiations specified in ISO 8529. Since, according to ICRU Report 39 and ICRU Report 43, neutrons of all energies are strongly penetrating, area monitors should be calibrated in terms of ambient dose equivalent [H*(10)}, and individual dosemeters should be calibrated to measure individual dose equivalent, penetrating [Hp(10)]. The procedures given in this International Standard are, however, quite general, and may be used with any system of dose equivalent quantities. A diagrammatic scheme of the physical characteristics to be tested is given as annex A.
