Personnel Dosimetry Accreditation Program
Extremity Dosimetry Accreditation
Many sites implement both whole body personnel dosimetry
and extremity dosimetry programs. At these sites, the infrastructure
of the programs are essentially identical. To ease the burden on
both applicants and the performance testing laboratory, a decision was
made that the future revision of DOE STD-1095-95, DOE Laboratory Accreditation
Program for Personnel Dosimetry Systems, will include aspects
of both whole body personnel dosimetry and extremity dosimetry systems.
While there will be separate applications, the performance testing will
take place in parallel and there will be a single on-site assessment performed.
Currently, there is no regulatory requirement for the
accreditation of extremity dosimetry systems, however, applications are
being accepted on a voluntary basis (Application
for Accreditation - Extremity Dosimetry) for accreditation based
upon the criteria in ANSI/HPS N13.32-1995, "An American National Standard, Personnel Testing of Extremity Dosimeters." Since the current
language of 10 CFR 835.402(b) can accommodate extremity dosimetry program
accreditation without modifications, the Department will publish a notice
in the Federal Register prior to implementing a formal accreditation program
for extremity dosimetry systems. It is expected that a formal extremity
dosimetry accreditation program should begin sometime in 2000.
