Quality assurance of radon measurements
|
|
|
Depending on the type of measuring device, the traceability of the measured quantity to a recognized standard or the participation in regular interlaboratory comparisons conducted by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) are required to assure the quality of radon measurements. Laboratories issuing passive radon instruments have to prove their organizational and technical competence by accreditation or recognition (full text in German only).

Interlaboratory Comparison of Passive Radon Detectors
|
|
|
The Federal Office for Radiation Protection's (BfS) calibration laboratory carries out comparison tests for passive radon measuring devices with solid state track detectors, electrets, or activated carbon. These measurements serve the purpose of quality assurance of the institutions carrying out and evaluating radon measurements either for the monitoring of occupationally exposed persons or in households. Measuring institutions at home and abroad can participate.
