26、bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizat

27、ions, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in th

28、e ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of

29、the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 20553 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 85, Nuclear en

Protecting workers against r

31、isks of incorporated radionuclides requires the monitoring of potential intakes and/or the quantification of actual intakes and exposures. The selection of measures and programmes for this purpose requires decisions concerning methods, techniques, frequencies etc. for measurements and dose assessmen

32、t. The criteria permitting the evaluation of the necessity of such a monitoring programme or for the selection of methods and frequencies of monitoring usually depend upon the legislation, the purpose of the radiation protection programme, the probabilities of potential radionuclide intakes, and the

33、 characteristics of the materials handled. This International Standard offers guidance for the decision whether a monitoring programme is required and how it should be designed. Its intention is to optimise the efforts for such a monitoring programme consistent with legal requirements and with the p

34、urpose of the radiation protection programme. Recommendations of international expert bodies and international experience with the practical application of these recommendations in radiation protection programmes have been considered in the development of this International Standard. Its application

35、 facilitates the exchanges of information between authorities, supervisory institutions and employers. The International Standard is not a substitute for legal requirements. In the International Standard, the word “shall” is used to denote a requirement and no deviation is allowed. The word “should”

36、 is used to denote a recommendation from which justified deviations are allowed. The word “may” is used to denote permission.

37、rnal contamination with radioactive material 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the design of professional programmes to monitor workers exposed to the risk of internal contamination by radioactive substances and establishes principles for the development of c

38、ompatible goals and requirements for monitoring programmes. This International Standard addresses the a) purposes of monitoring and of monitoring programmes; b) description of the different categories of monitoring programmes; c) quantitative criteria for conducting monitoring programmes; d) suitabl

39、e methods for monitoring and criteria for their selection; e) information that has to be collected for the design of a monitoring programme; f) general requirements for monitoring programmes (e.g. detection limits, tolerated uncertainties); g) frequencies of measurements; h) special cases; i) qualit

40、y assurance; and j) documentation, reporting, record-keeping. This International Standard does not address the monitoring of exposure to radon and its radioactive decay products; detailed descriptions of measuring methods and techniques; detailed procedures for in vivo measurements and in vitro anal

41、yses; interpretation of monitoring results in terms of doses; biokinetic data and mathematical models for converting measured activities into absorbed dose, equivalent dose and effective dose; or the investigation of the causes or implications of an exposure or intake.
