The calibration of personal dosemeters (TLDs,films, active personal dosemeters, pencil-dosemeters) is performed by irradiating them at user-specified dose levels.

Dosimetric quantities

• Personal Dose Equivalent Hp (10) (Sv)
• Personal Dose Equivalent Hp (0,07) (Sv)
• Expanded uncertainty (*): u=5,2% at 95% CL (k=2)

 (*) Best measurement capability

 Radiation Sources
