Use of Non-Governmental Standards

DOE-STD-1121-98

health physicist as an interface to medical treatment. The impact of therapeutic measures on the outcome

of dosimetric evaluations is also discussed.

Quality assurance issues associated with bioassay measurements, evaluations of intake, and

internal dose are presented in Section 11.

1.5 USE OF NON-GOVERNMENTAL STANDARDS

To the extent possible, this guidance document is written to be consistent with existing non-

governmental standards for internal dosimetry, including:

Radioassay Laboratories

ANSI N323a-1997, American National Standard for Radiation Protection Instrumentation Test

and Calibration

ANSI Z88.2-1992, American National Standard for Respiratory Protection.
