If the dosemeter is irradiated free in air from the side (a to 180°–a ), the indicated value
max max
shall not exceed 3 times the indicated value resulting from an irradiation free in air with the
same radiation quality from the front (0°). This shall apply to all radiation energies within the
rated range of energy.
NOTE 1 This requirement prevents the acceptance of a detector with a high atomic number material without
sufficient shielding which may cause a large over response from the side.
NOTE 2 If a = 60°, this means an irradiation from 60° to 120°.

NOTE Z1 No lower limit is required as the conventional true value is zero for beta radiation and for low energy
photon radiation.

the same time (in order to exclude possible effects due to reader instabilities during the test).
Further information regarding the method of test are given in 13.1.2.
Treatment of the three groups after the irradiation:
Group 1 shall be read out 24 hours (or as soon as possible) after the irradiation.
Group 2, reference group, shall be read out one week after the irradiation.
Group 3 shall be read out after the maximum rated measurement time t after the

0,7·H for every single influence quantity, see Table 14. Exception: The absolute value of
low
the deviation may be larger than 0,7·H for one indicated value, if the dosimetry system
low
delivers an error message assigning that this value is faulty. In addition, the dosimetry system
shall not lose more than one indicated value, see 10.5.
For all influence quantities, the mandatory ranges are taken from IEC 61000-6-2.
The tests in lines 4, 5, and 7 of Table 14 need not to be done for readers for which the
manufacturer declares that either the respective influence quantity does not affect the
indicated value by more than 0,7·H during readout of dosemeters or the effect is
low
recognized and accompanied by an error message (at most one, see above) or the effect is
corrected for (for example by means of software). This declaration shall contain the necessary
evidence. This evidence can be a physical reason why the device is not affected by the
electromagnetic disturbance or why the electromagnetic disturbance is not present. This
evidence has to be stated for each electromagnetic disturbance separately. One example is,
that no mobile phones are allowed in the room of the reader.
36 Modification to 14.3
Replace the subclause by:
As the tests described in this clause are performed using rather low doses such as 7·H the
low
consideration of the natural background radiation is of special importance, see 5.2.4.
For the test according to lines 1 to 6 of Table 14 seven groups of n (≥ 10) dosemeters and for
the test according to line 7 of Table 14 one group of n (≥ 13) dosemeters shall be exposed to
a reference source with a dose equivalent of 7·H . For those influence quantities for which a
low
declaration of the manufacturer is available, see 14.2, no dosemeters need to be irradiated.
Group 1, reference group: no electromagnetic influences shall be present. To assure this,
appropriate filters, shieldings and so on shall be applied.
Groups 2, 6 and 8: in case the dosemeters contain any electric parts that may be sensitive to
electromagnetic disturbances (for example a DIS dosemeter), the dosemeters shall be
exposed to the influence quantities according to lines 1, 5 and 7 of Table 14 prior to their
readout. The radio frequency radiation shall be applied with the frequencies stated in footnote
d to Table 14.
Group 1 shall be read out without any electromagnetic influences.
Groups 2 to 8 shall be read out while the different electromagnetic influences are applied to
the reader in accordance with the standards of the IEC 61000-4 series as given in Table 14.
Each electromagnetic influence shall be applied for the duration of the readout of one
dosemeter. If possible, the output of the reader (for example glow curve) shall be observed.
Without error message, no abnormal characteristics (for example spikes in a glow curve that
cause non-negligible doses) shall occur.
For every group, the mean indicated value G and the standard deviation s shall be
i
i
determined. In case any indicated values were marked by the dosimetry system as faulty,
these values shall be excluded from the determination of G and s .
