A need for detailed testing of individual monitoring systems used in accredited service at the Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences was recognized following changes in individual, workplace, and environmental monitoring passive dosimetry systems acceptability criteria stated in IEC 62387:2020 and changes related to reference fields used in radiation protection defined in ISO 4037:2019. Reliability and accuracy of dosimetry data acquired by passive dosimetry systems used for individual monitoring is assured by carrying out type tests. In this manner, the effects of different radiation influence quantities are examined. Passive dosimetry systems comprised of an LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100) detector card placed in two different holder models (8814 and 8850) and the Harshaw TLD Model 6600 Plus Automated Reader were tested. Type tests were done in an extended range of photon energies from 40 keV up to 1.25 MeV, angle of incidence values of ±45° and ± 60° for both vertical and horizontal dosimeter ori...entation, and in the dose range from 0.05 mSv to 1 Sv. Both dosimetry system configurations perform in line with IEC 62387:2020 within mandatory range for tested influence quantities. Dosimeters that use the 8850 holder type showed less pronounced energy and angular dependence of the response in the low-energy range.
