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  - Kerma-area product and kerma-length product are important practical dosimetric quantities used in diagnostic radiology. These quantities are measured by special types of dosimeters which are calibrated in standard radiation qualities established in calibration laboratories. However, in clinical practice the dosimeters are used in different conditions, including the radiation quality and field size. In this paper, energy and field size dependence are studied for both types of dosimeters. One dosimeter of each type is tested. The KAP-meter has shown significant dependence on both radiation quality and field size, while the dependence of the CT-chamber is much less pronounced. Two different approaches can be used to correct for the difference between conditions during calibration and in clinical practice. When the clinical beam is well characterized and energy and field size dependence of the dosimeter are well known, the optimum solution is to apply the adequate correction factor to the measurements, keeping measurement uncertainty as low as possible. If this is not the case, the above limitations must be taken under consideration in the calculation of the expanded uncertainty budget.
