The work of preparing International Standards is normally carrie

26、d 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 organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS

27、O 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 the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare Internationa

28、l 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 the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elemen

31、2: Characterization of instrument responseMeasurements at aviation altitudes is to form the subject of a future Part 3.iv ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 207851:2017ISO 20785-1:2012(E)IntroductionAircraft crews are exposed to elevated levels of cosmic radiation of galactic and solar origin and

32、 secondary radiation produced in the atmosphere, the aircraft structure and its contents. Following recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection in Publication 60,1confirmed by Publication 103,2the European Union (EU) introduced a revised Basic Safety Standards Directiv

33、e3which included exposure to natural sources of ionizing radiation, including cosmic radiation, as occupational exposure. The Directive requires account to be taken of the exposure of aircraft crews liable to receive more than 1 mSv per year. It then identifies the following four protection measures

34、: (i) to assess the exposure of the crew concerned; (ii) to take into account the assessed exposure when organizing working schedules with a view to reducing the doses of highly exposed crews; (iii) to inform the workers concerned of the health risks their work involves; and (iv) to apply the same s

35、pecial protection during pregnancy to female crews in respect of the “child to be born” as to other female workers. The EU Council Directive has already been incorporated into laws and regulations of EU Member States and is being included in the aviation safety standards and procedures of the Joint

36、Aviation Authorities and the European Air Safety Agency. Other countries such as Canada and Japan have issued advisories to their airline industries to manage aircraft crew exposure.For regulatory and legislative purposes, the radiation protection quantities of interest are the equivalent dose (to t

37、he foetus) and the effective dose. The cosmic radiation exposure of the body is essentially uniform and the maternal abdomen provides no effective shielding to the foetus. As a result, the magnitude of equivalent dose to the foetus can be put equal to that of the effective dose received by the mothe

38、r. Doses on board aircraft are generally predictable, and events comparable to unplanned exposure in other radiological workplaces cannot normally occur (with the rare exceptions of extremely intense and energetic solar particle events). Personal dosemeters for routine use are not considered necessa

39、ry. The preferred approach for the assessment of doses of aircraft crews, where necessary, is to calculate directly the effective dose per unit time, as a function of geographic location, altitude and solar cycle phase, and to fold these values with flight and staff roster information to obtain esti

40、mates of effective doses for individuals. This approach is supported by guidance from the European Commission and the ICRP in Publication 75.4The role of calculations in this procedure is unique in routine radiation protection and it is widely accepted that the calculated doses should be validated b

41、y measurement. The effective dose is not directly measurable. The operational quantity of interest is ambient dose equivalent, H*(10). In order to validate the assessed doses obtained in terms of effective dose, calculations can be made of ambient dose equivalent rates or route doses in terms of amb

42、ient dose equivalent, and values of this quantity determined by measurements traceable to national standards. The validation of calculations of ambient dose equivalent for a particular calculation method may be taken as a validation of the calculation of the effective dose by the same computer code,

43、 but this step in the process may need to be confirmed. The alternative is to establish a priori that the operational quantity ambient dose equivalent is a good estimator of effective dose and equivalent dose to the foetus for the radiation fields being considered, in the same way that the use of th

44、e operational quantity personal dose equivalent is justified for the estimation of effective dose for radiation workers. Ambient dose equivalent rate as a function of geographic location, altitude and solar cycle phase is then calculated and folded with flight and staff roster information.The radiat

45、ion field in aircraft at altitude is complex, with many types of ionizing radiation present, with energies ranging up to many GeV. The determination of ambient dose equivalent for such a complex radiation field is difficult. In many cases, the methods used for the determination of ambient dose equiv

46、alent in aircraft are similar to those used at high-energy accelerators in research laboratories. Therefore, it is possible to recommend dosimetric methods and methods for the calibration of dosimetric devices, as well as the techniques for maintaining the traceability of dosimetric measurements to

47、national standards. Dosimetric measurements made to evaluate ambient dose equivalent must be performed using accurate and reliable methods that ensure the quality of readings provided to workers and regulatory authorities. This part of ISO 20785 gives a conceptual basis for the characterization of t

48、he response of instruments for the determination of ambient dose equivalent in aircraft.

49、gislation of EU Member States and other countries. Harmonization of methods used for determining ambient dose equivalent and for calibrating instruments is desirable to ensure the compatibility of measurements performed with such instruments.This part of ISO 20785 is intended for the use of primary and secondary calibration laboratories for ionizing radiation, by radiation protection personnel employed by governmental agencies, and by industrial corporations concerned with the determination of ambient dose equivalent for aircraft
