ISO 21909-1 Compliance Testing of Personal Neutron Dosimeters
The ISO 21909-1 standard provides a framework for ensuring that personal neutron dosimeters used in occupational exposure comply with the requirements set forth by international standards. This service ensures that your dosimeters meet these stringent criteria, thereby protecting workers and adhering to regulatory compliance.
Our testing process begins with an assessment of the dosimeter's design and construction. We ensure that all components are capable of accurately measuring neutron radiation exposure over a specified range. Following this, we calibrate the dosimeters using our advanced equipment, ensuring they provide precise readings under various environmental conditions.
The testing protocol is designed to simulate real-world usage scenarios, including different levels of neutron flux and temperature variations. This comprehensive approach ensures that the dosimeters perform reliably in all expected environments. Once calibrated, each dosimeter undergoes rigorous testing using a combination of ionization chambers and neutron spectrometers for accuracy.
Our laboratory adheres to ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation standards, ensuring the highest level of reliability and precision in our test results. The testing process includes multiple validation checks at various stages to ensure consistency and repeatability. We also provide detailed reports that outline all test parameters, including neutron flux levels, temperature variations, and dosimeter response times.
The service is particularly beneficial for organizations involved in nuclear power generation, medical facilities using radiation therapy equipment, and any industry where workers are exposed to occupational neutron exposure. By ensuring compliance with ISO 21909-1, we help our clients meet regulatory requirements and protect worker safety effectively.
