DOE-STD-1112-98
A performance testing laboratory determines whether a contractor meets the test criteria. Members of a
team of experts in radiobioassay conduct on-site assessments. The development of the testing criteria and
the program requirements found in ANSI N13.30 are based on many years of performance testing of
radiobioassay laboratories, and have been developed to improve the quality of radiobioassay measurements
without causing undue disruption of existing satisfactory programs. This technical standard has
assessment criteria which have been found by pilot testing programs to be consistent with the current
capabilities of most radiobioassay laboratories. However, the criteria for passing will be reevaluated as the
program evolves and improved radiobioassay capabilities become available.

APPLICABILITY
The DOELAP for Radiobioassay applies to the technical and administrative aspects of radiobioassay
monitoring programs, as required in 10 CFR 835, Occupational Radiation Protection and recommended in
DOE G 441.3-1, Implementation Guide for use with Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 835,
Occupational Radiation Protection, Internal Dosimetry Program at DOE/DOE contractor facilities,
and to the documentation of those technical aspects. During the DOELAP accreditation process for
radiobioassay:
a.
a performance testing laboratory evaluates the technical performance of the radiobioassay
service laboratory by providing testing unknowns to be measured and reported; and
b.
an on-site assessment team evaluates technical adequacy, program documentation, and quality
assurance systems of the radiobioassay program(s).
Biokinetic models and internal dosimetry evaluation protocols used to determine radioactive material intake
and internal dose are not included in the scope of the accreditation program. The program scope does not
forbid a facility from providing additional radiobioassay services, nor does it preclude a facility from
operating research programs to improve radiobioassay services. Each service laboratory shall have the
option of being tested and evaluated for an entire category of radiobioassay or for a specific radionuclide
within a category. If a specific radionuclide is chosen, evaluation of test results shall be for that
radionuclide only. Every three years, each DOE radiobioassay program shall maintain its accreditation by
demonstrating compliance with the DOELAP criteria as required in 10 CFR 835.
