AB  - The European Council DIRECTIVE 2013/59/EURATOM laying down the basic safety standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionizing radiation is currently the main European regulation on ionizing radiation. 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, which lead to new standards, technological innovations, and improved capabilities. It was considered by EURAMET to be of a vital importance to have a metrology network that acts 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 and radiation protection platforms. One of the most important tasks of this European Metrology Network (EMN) for Radiation Protection is to give a strong voice to the field of radiation protection metrology in Europe, so that it can provide responsible guidance and support to future technological developments. Additionally, metrological competence and capacity are essential to determine ambient or occupational exposures and urgent metrological needs exist in case of emergency situations. The EMN for Radiation Protection is in operation since 2021. The first Chair, Annette Röttger (PTB, Germany), Vice-Chair, Teemu Siiskonen (STUK, Finland) and Secretary Behnam Khanbabaee (PTB, Germany) have been elected. At the second meeting in 2022, first actions have been identified. In this contribution, the planned actions and next steps will be presented.

AB  - The European regulation on ionizing radiation is essentially laid down in the Council DIRECTIVE 2013/59/EURATOM. This Directive implements the basic safety standards for the protection of humans and the environment against the dangers arising from exposure to ionizing radiation. However, 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, which lead to new standards, technological innovations, and improved capabilities. It is therefore of vital importance to create a network that acts 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 and platforms dealing with radiation protection such as HERCA, IAEA and EURADOS. The development of such a metrology network under the umbrella of EURAMET was planned by the consortium of the JNP EMPIR project 19NET03 supportBSS. The plan was successfully evaluated by EURAMET and the European Metrology Network (EMN) for Radiation Protection was approved by the EURAMET General Assembly in June 2021. The EMN for radiation protection will interact with innovative technological developments and has set itself the goal of being the central point of contact in order to cover the metrological needs in radiation protection and to find metrological solutions on a European level. The main challenges for this goal are in the first step the implementation of a long-term ongoing dialogue between the metrology communities and relevant stakeholder groups and, on the other hand, the development of a joint and sustainable European metrology infrastructure that underpins radiation protection regulation. The first step is visualized in this work.

AB  - The EURAMET #1177 project, identified as EURAMET RI(I)-S9 comparison, was the first EURAMET wide scale supplementary comparison in the field of diagnostic radiology for air kerma area product, P-KA, and air kerma, K. It was conducted with the goal of testing the measurement and calibration capabilities for P-KA and K, as well as of supporting the relevant CMCs of the participating laboratories. Two commercial KAP meters and an ionization chamber were selected as transfer instruments and circulated between the 22 European participants. The measurements were performed from April 2011 until July 2012. The stability and the performance of the transfer instruments were tested by the pilot laboratory (IRCL/GAEC-EIM) and few other laboratories as well. The test results revealed that the energy (radiation quality), Q, irradiation area, A, and air kerma rate, K dependences of response of the transfer KAP meters influence the comparison of the results when different measurement conditions were pertained and therefore, appropriate correction factors were obtained and applied to the reported calibration results of the laboratories, when necessary. The comparison reference values (CRVs) for each instrument were determined as the weighted mean of the calibration coefficients of the three participating primary laboratories. The relative standard uncertainty of the CRVs were in the range of (0.4-1.6)% depending on the transfer instruments and beam qualities. The comparison result as the ratio of the corrected calibration coefficient of participant and the respective CRV, and its uncertainty were calculated for all beam qualities and transfer instruments. The informative degrees of equivalence (DoE) were calculated for the refrence RQR 5 beam quality. In case of air kema area product measurements the results for the RADCAL PDC KAP meter were used. The 216 KAP meter calibration results of the two different transfer instruments in terms of air kerma area product were consistent within 5% except 40 results of 8 participants. The 103 air kerma calibration results were consistent within 1.7%, except 10 results of 4 participants.
