Knowledge Hub · RE-2000

The framework a NABL-accredited personal-dosimetry service audits against.

A high-throughput reader is only as useful as the audit trail it produces. RE-2000\'s per-element database, calibration management and read-cycle validation land against six documents: NABL ISO/IEC 17025 for accreditation, AERB SC/IR-2 for the Indian regulatory contract, ISO 12794 + IEC 61066 for the type-test framework, IAEA SRS-20 for methodology and ICRP 103 for the dose-limit framework the output serves.

Standards framework

Six anchors covering the whole service chain.

Each document constrains a different link — accreditation, regulation, TLD type-test, reader type-test, methodology and dose-limit interpretation. RE-2000\'s hardware + software fits inside this framework so a service commissioning it can present a coherent audit story.

NABLISO/IEC 17025:2017

General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

The accreditation framework India's personal-dosimetry services operate under. RE-2000's per-element audit trail, calibration management, uncertainty budget and method-validation records are what a NABL assessor consumes when auditing the service.

AERBAERB SC/IR-2 (Rev 1)

Safety Code — Individual Monitoring for Occupational Workers

The Indian regulatory code the service must follow — approved-institution requirements, monitoring-period definition, dose-report content, calibration-traceability chain and the audit-record obligations that an automatic reader's log has to satisfy.

ISOISO 12794:2000

Nuclear energy — Radiation protection — Individual thermoluminescence dosemeters for extremities and eyes

Type-test framework for the TLD elements read by RE-2000 in the RT (extremity) configuration — energy response, angular response, batch homogeneity, minimum detectable dose. Any TLD material fed to the reader must survive this test.

IECIEC 61066:2006

Thermoluminescence dosimetry systems for personal and environmental monitoring

The reader-instrument standard. Heating cycle, calibration, background subtraction, reproducibility, environmental drift — RE-2000's design + QA cycle both land against this document. §7 covers automatic-reader-specific throughput + carousel behaviour.

IAEAIAEA Safety Reports Series No. 20 (2004)

Assessment of Occupational Exposure Due to External Sources of Radiation

The IAEA methodology guide for a personal-dosimetry programme. Sets Hp(10) / Hp(0.07) / Hp(3) dose quantities, monitoring-programme design + the reader-independent QA cycle around the service.

ICRPICRP Publication 103 (2007)

The 2007 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection

The dose-limit framework the personal-dosimetry service applies its output against — 20 mSv/y whole-body, 500 mSv/y extremity, 20 mSv/y eye lens (updated to 20 mSv/y by ICRP 118 for tissue reactions). The reader's report is only useful because it references these limits.
