AB  - Purpose: The recent update of the ISO 4037, in conjunction with the new radiation protection quantities introduced in ICRU Report 95, present significant challenges to calibration laboratories and industry. Furthermore, there is a need to address gaps and conflicts between standards that set requirements for photon dosimeters, and to incorporate upcoming and new technologies into standardization. Materials and Methods: The European Partnership Project 23NRM07 GuideRadPROS started in June 2023 and will address these issues in the next three years. The objectives are: • to develop harmonized X-ray spectrometry in accordance with the ISO 4037 standard series, evaluate discrepancies between measured and calculated half value layer of X-ray spectra, and produce data to update requirements for reference X-ray fields. • to develop guidance for the calibration of dosimeters. • to produce guidance on validated procedures for harmonized type testing based on IEC standards. • to assess future standardization needs and to produce a guidance document for the implementation of the new operational quantities of ICRU Report 95 into standards and regulations. • to collaborate with ISO and IEC and users of their dosimetry standards to ensure that project outputs align with their needs. Results: The outcome of this project will lead to improved and comparable procedures in calibration and type testing within Europe. Furthermore, the evaluation of the impact of the ICRU Report 95 quantities will allow for an informed realization of calibration fields. Conclusions: GuideRadPROS will improve the confidence in radiation protection dosimetry, both via the promotion of the implementation of the ISO 4037 standard series, and via the assessment of the impact of the ICRU Report 95 operational quantities on daily measurements in radiation protection.

AB  - Introduction
Calibration laboratories and industrial enterprises involved in radiation protection dosimetry face significant
challenges following the recent update of the ISO 4037 in conjunction with the new radiation protection
quantities introduced in ICRU Report 95, the gaps and contradictions in the standards that set photon
dosimeter requirements, and the lack of standards for upcoming and new technologies.
Methods
The European Partnership Project 23NRM07 GuideRadPROS launched in June 2023 will address these issues
over the next three years. The project objectives are:
1. to develop harmonized X-ray spectrometry in accordance with the ISO 4037 standard series, evaluate
discrepancies between measured and calculated half value layer of X-ray spectra, and produce data to update
requirements for reference fields.
2. to develop guidance and training material for the calibration of dosimeters.
3. to produce guidance on validated procedures for harmonized type testing based on IEC standards.
4. to investigate new and upcoming technologies and assess future standardization needs and to produce a
guidance document for the implementation of the new operational quantities of ICRU Report 95 into standards
and regulations.
5. to collaborate with ISO and IEC and users of their dosimetry standards to ensure that project outputs align
with their needs.
Results and Conclusions
GuideRadPROS will improve the confidence in radiation protection dosimetry, both by promoting the
implementation of the ISO 4037 standard series and by assessing the impact of the operational quantities of
the ICRU Report 95 on daily measurements in radiation protection. Furthermore, the outcome of this project will
lead to improved and comparable procedures in calibration and type testing within Europe

AB  - Purpose: The European regulation for protection against exposure to ionizing radiation is essentially laid down in the Council Directive 2013/59/EURATOM. The practical implementation of the European basic safety standards has become more complex due to the lack of consideration of the metrological implications and the adaptation to new technological developments. To overcome such a difficulty, a European Metrology Network for Radiation Protection (EMN RP) was stablished in September 2021 to act as a focal point between the metrology communities and the relevant radiation protection stakeholders, including regulators, standardization bodies, manufacturers, users of radiation sources and international organizations. Materials and Methods: In the work package knowledge transfer, the supporting project 19NET03 supportBSS, together with its EMN RP partners, EURADOS and the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS), organizes an international training course on dosimetry and emergency preparedness in collaboration with the UK Health and Safety Agency (UK HSA) and the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (EEAE) as local host. The course will be held at EEAE in Athens, Greece, from 18 to 21 September 2023. Webpage: http://www.ptb.de/tceurados-wg2-2023 Results: The aim of this course is to provide the theoretical background of dealing with emergencies and to enhance it with practical measurement exercises. The course consists of three days of lectures and discussions combined with one day of practical exercises in small groups of five people. Lecturers from different European institutes will present various topics from different perspectives. Conclusions: This paper evaluates the course content and the feedback from the participants. This course can serve as a basis for further courses that can then be offered by appropriate platforms.

AB  - Outdoor active (area)dosemeters are becoming increasingly important for
environmental monitoring, notably in early warning and non-governmental networks
that have emerged because of increasing awareness of potential nuclear accidents.
A clear separation of workplace and environmental area dosemeters is absent. This
has led to a state whereby different international standards for area environmental
and area workplace dosemeters are being used. These non-harmonised type test
requirements set in the different international standards for environmental and area
dosemeters are related to the same operational radiation protection quantity -
ambient dose equivalent rate. Even though most requirements for area workplace
and environmental dosemeters are similar, differences are needed, for example the
dose rate range and the angular dependence.
Therefore, harmonisation of the type test requirements for both environmental and
area workplace dosemeters will improve the type testing procedures and standard
acceptability criteria for these dosemeters, impacting on metrology calibration and
testing laboratories, dosemeter manufacturers, stakeholders and end-users.
One of the main objectives of the 17RPT01 DOSEtrace (Improving Europe's
calibration facilities for radiation monitoring equipment) project is the development
and validation of traceable measurement capabilities for operational radiation
protection quantities. Harmonisation of type test requirements for the measuring
instruments which measure ionising radiation dose in terms of ambient dose
equivalent rate is closely related.
In the presented work, existing type test requirements set by different international
standards were summarized and the most relevant requirements for both workplace
and environmental area dosemeters were extracted. Two sets of requirements were
formulated – one for workplace area monitors and one for environmental area
monitors. The requirements and test methods were experimentally tested with
selected area dose rate meters.
The results could be used as an input for the IEC standardisation body to set up
reliable unified type test requirements for both dosemeter types.

AB  - Advancements in area monitoring caused by development of environmental monitoring networks which utilise active electronic dosimeters have led to widespread use of active area dosimeters. Currently, there are various sets of requirements for area dosimeters available in IEC standards. A clear distinction is not always made between requirements for area dosimeters used for workplace monitoring and that used for environmental monitoring. Performance testing methods related to the radiation characteristics were examined in a number of standards. Out of this, criteria in terms of relative response limits of variation have been derived for photon energy, angle of incidence and dose rate non-linearity for both dosimeter use cases. Testing of several active area dosimeters which are used for environmental monitoring has been performed in a wide range of photon energy, angle of incidence and dose rate. The collected requirements for environmental and workplace area dosimetry imply that some harmonization of IEC standards for area dosimeters is needed.
