Knowledge Hub · TLDCube™

The standards TLDCube is measured against.

A TLD reader is only credible if its output survives an NABL ISO/IEC 17025 audit. That means proving it meets ISO 12794 for the dosimeters it reads, IEC 61066 for the reader instrument itself, and AERB SC/IR-2 for the personal-dosimetry service it feeds. Below are the six documents that define that chain, plus the review literature every teaching hospital cites when designing a TLD curriculum.

Standards framework

The six documents a compliant TLD service references.

Each anchor spans a different link in the chain — dosimeter type-test (ISO 12794), reader instrument (IEC 61066), regulatory framework (AERB), methodology (IAEA), quality management (ISO 17025). Every claim TLDCube makes about accuracy, reproducibility and calibration traceability lands against one of these.

ISOISO 12794:2000

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

Sets the type-test framework — energy response, angular response, batch homogeneity, minimum detectable dose, environmental influence quantities — that any personal-dosimetry service must satisfy for its extremity + eye-lens TLDs.

IECIEC 61066:2006

Thermoluminescence dosimetry systems for personal and environmental monitoring

The technical standard covering TLD reader instruments. Defines the heating cycle (linear ramp / two-step / isothermal), reader-specific calibration, background subtraction, reproducibility, and the environmental / drift tests every TLD reader used for personal monitoring must pass.

AERBAERB SC/IR-2 (Rev 1)

Safety Code — Individual Monitoring for Occupational Workers

India's regulatory framework for the personal-dosimetry service that ultimately consumes the TLD reader's output. Sets the monitoring period, dose-report content, calibration-traceability chain and audit-record obligations.

IAEAIAEA Safety Reports Series No. 20 (2004)

Assessment of Occupational Exposure Due to External Sources of Radiation

The methodology guide most personal-dosimetry services use when documenting their TLD workflow — dose quantities Hp(10) / Hp(0.07) / Hp(3), monitoring-programme design, and the QA cycle around the reader itself.

IAEAIAEA TRS-457 (2007)

Dosimetry in Diagnostic Radiology: An International Code of Practice

The IAEA code of practice that anchors the calibration + traceability chain for medical dosimetry generally. Referenced when a TLD reader is used for hot-lab QC / in-vivo secondary checks against ionisation-chamber measurements.

NABLISO/IEC 17025:2017

General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

The accreditation framework a personal-dosimetry service must meet in India. Defines the calibration-traceability chain, method-validation documentation, uncertainty budget and audit-trail requirements — every one of which the TLD reader's output has to survive.
