The main changes are the addition of procedures for monitoring the dose to the lens of the eye.iv ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 15382:2015ISO 15382:2015(E)IntroductionThe human body has to be protected from effects of ionizing radiation. The s
22、tochastic effects are covered by the limit on the effective dose while tissue reactions (deterministic effects) are covered by the dose limits for specific organs. The human skin has to be protected from tissue reactions, like erythema and ulceration. For the lens of the eye, there is the risk of ra
23、diation induced opacities and cataract at elevated exposures. To protect the skin of the whole body, the extremities, and the lens of the eye, separate dose limits are recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). These separate dose limits are needed because, in cas
24、e of localized exposures, the organ doses to the skin and the lens of the eye could exceed these limits even if the effective doses were lower than the limit.Specific dosimetry is needed to monitor these doses and to assess compliance with applicable limits. There are some situations where the corre
25、ct assessment of the exposure of the skin, extremities, and lens of the eye can be important. In the nuclear sector, there can be exposure due to weakly penetrating radiation caused by unshielded open radioactive sources, or by work in glove boxes. These types of exposure can occur, in particular, i
26、n connection with contamination. Exposure to weakly penetrating radiation from radioactive noble gases in room air also has to be considered. In the medical field, doses to extremities and doses to the lens of the eye can be important during interventional procedures and in nuclear medicine.Monitori
27、ng the extremities and the lens of the eye is not always straightforward, and many practical problems arise for the application of monitoring in the workplace. As a result, monitoring is often not done as it should be, or not done at all. This International Standard provides guidance on how and when
28、 this monitoring should be done, for all the different types of workplace fields.This International Standard is directed to all who are involved in the dosimetry of the skin, extremities, and the lens of the eye, like for example, radiation protection officers, regulators, workers, dosimetry service
29、s, etc. ISO 2015 All rights reserved vBS ISO 15382:2015BS ISO 15382:2015Radiological protection Procedures for monitoring the dose to the lens of the eye, the skin and the extremities1 ScopeThis International Standard provides procedures for monitoring the dose to the skin, the extremities, and the
30、lens of the eye. It gives guidance on how to decide if such dosemeters are needed and to ensure that individual monitoring is appropriate to the nature of the exposure, taking practical considerations into account. National regulations, if they exist, provide requirements that need to be followed.Th
31、is International Standard specifies procedures for individual monitoring of radiation exposure of the skin, extremities (hands, fingers, wrists, forearms, feet and ankles), and lens of the eye in planned exposure situations. It covers practices which involve a risk of exposure to photons in the rang
32、e of 8 keV to 10 MeV and electrons and positrons in the range of 60 keV to 10 MeV.This International Standard gives guidance for the design of a monitoring program to ensure compliance with legal individual dose limits. It refers to the appropriate operational dose quantities, and it gives guidance
33、on the type and frequency of individual monitoring and the type and positioning of the dosemeter. Finally, different approaches to assess and analyse skin, extremity, and lens of the eye doses are given.It is not in the scope of this International Standard to consider exposure due to alpha or neutro
34、n radiation fields.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

40、 terms, definitions and units given in ICRP 103, ICRP 116, ICRP 118 and ICRU 85 apply.4 Individual monitoring4.1 QuantitiesSkin and extremity monitoring involves the measurement of Hp(0,07), the estimator of the equivalent dose to the skin.Lens of the eye monitoring involves the measurement of Hp(3)
41、, the estimator of the equivalent dose to the lens of the eye. If the radiation field is well known, Hp(3) can be estimated by the use of dosemeters type tested and calibrated in terms of other quantities, i.e. Hp(0,07) and Hp(10), as in many cases they can provide an adequate estimate of the dose t
42、o the lens of the eye (depending on the radiation field). Technical specifications of dosemeters are provided in Annex A. Guidance on which type of dosemeter can be used for the lens of the eye (depending on the radiation field) is provided in Annex B.4.2 Dose limits and monitoring levelsThe dose li
43、mits for skin, extremities, and lens of the eye for planned exposure situations are given in national regulations.ICRP has given more recent recommendations on the dose limits (ICRP 103 and ICRP 118) to avoid tissue reactions. Requirements equivalent to these recommendations are given by the IAEA in
44、 the Basic Safety Standards (BSS).1These recommendations from ICRP and IAEA constitute the basis for the recommendations in this International Standard.The ICRP recommended dose limits are the following:a) an equivalent dose limit to the extremities (hands and feet) or the skin of 500 mSv in a year.
45、 The equivalent dose limits for the skin apply to the average dose over 1 cm2of the most highly irradiated area of the skin. In practice, an estimate of equivalent dose to the skin is a conservative estimate of equivalent dose to the extremities;b) an equivalent dose limit to the lens of the eye of
46、20 mSv per year averaged over 5 consecutive years (100 mSv in 5 years) and of 50 mSv in any single year.Individual monitoring is required to verify compliance with dose limits as they are described in the national legislation. Extremity, skin, and lens of the eye monitoring should be undertaken for
47、workers who have a reasonable probability of receiving per year an equivalent dose higher than 3/10th of one of the above mentioned yearly limits. National regulations can require monitoring from different values, in that case they replace the following values.The following monitoring levels are rec
48、ommended:a) for the extremities or the skin, this means monitoring should be undertaken if there is a reasonable probability to receive a dose greater than 150 mSv per year;b) for the lens of the eye, monitoring should be undertaken if there is a reasonable probability to receive a dose in a single
49、year greater than 15 mSv or in consecutive years greater than 6 mSv per year.For dose levels expected to be lower than the recommended monitoring levels given above, a survey demonstrating that the levels are not exceeded, should be sufficient.The expected annual dose can be estimated via one or more of the methods given in Clause 5.2 ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 15382:2015ISO 15382:2015(E)4.3 Monitoring periodThe choice of the length of the monitoring period is related to the levels of the expected doses and to the relevant dos
