One of the methods to ensure the quality of a laboratory is participating in an intercomparison activity. For the dosimetry laboratory network in Indonesia, the intercomparison activity is managed by the Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL) Jakarta. This paper describes the intercomparison among processing laboratory for personal dose equivalent Hp(10) and Hp(3) using thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD)/films in 2018 & 2019. The SSDL Jakarta irradiated packages of participant's TLDs/films with Cs-137 and X-rays at a specific equivalent dose. The irradiated dosimeters were sent back to the participants by mail, and then the result was sent to the SSDL Jakarta for evaluation. The evaluation was carried out using the trumpet curve under the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) publication. The results obtained for the 2018 intercomparison show the success rates of 98%, and 2% were outside the acceptable range, whereas for the 2019 Intercomparison, the success rates were 96% and 4% outside the acceptable range. The potential failure of reading the dose value was in the film dosimeter/badge. For those recent two years of intercomparison activities, the success rate was more than 95%. This result of the intercomparison activity showed the excellent quality of the personal dose equivalent Hp(10) and Hp(3) measurement in Indonesia.

“…So laboratories in different countries plan the inter-comparison approval test programs demonstrating the full 'illment of uncertainties of measurements (2)(3)(4)(5) . Since some laboratories may have not bene'ited systematic calibration procedures as described by ISO-4037 (6) or used inappropriate dosimeters, the related dosimetry response are obtained out of the standard criteria.…”

Background: Different kinds and models of personal dosimeters are used in individual monitoring by workers. Performance tes ng as part of approval procedures is carried out to demonstrate that the essen al performance specifica ons are rou nely maintained. There are four service providers in Iran which use different luminescence techniques (i. e. TLD and RPL) with various kinds of dosimeter materials/reader instruments in personal dosimetry services. Materials and Methods: A na onal performance approval tests program was performed for the dosimeters of the service providers in energy range of so', 660 keV and 1.25 MeV, at the doses values around the recoding, inves ga on and annual dose limits, and different angle of incidents (e. g. 0, 20, 40 and 60 degree). Results: The results of this tes ng sa sfies the overall accuracy criteria with 95% confidence levels specified by the ICRP, except that of RPL technique in low energy which overes mates the dose out of the acceptable accuracy band defined as the ICRP trumpet curves. Conclusion: The inter-comparison has proved that the personal dose equivalent quan ty, H p (10), defined by the ICRU and recommended by the IAEA are becoming widely accepted and implemented in most par cipated laboratories.

Radioprotection regulations contained a lot of rules and rational explanations in order to protect occupational exposed workers, patients undergoing radioactive procedures and the environment, too. Since radiation harmful effect has been discovered and until today, the radioprotection rules were changed and improved. In Romania the new radioprotection legislation began to emerge in 2000 and in 2002 the first new rules of radioprotection were issued. This paper presents the new radioprotection legislation effect on the doses recorded by the occupational exposures from research area. In this way, it was calculated the annual collective effective dose and individual doses over the period 1990-2000 for workers who activated in nuclear research laboratories and then compared with the similar radiological statistical data obtained over the period [2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010], the number of workers on dose range over the studied period. The mean number of workers who recorded doses over minimum detection limit was about 404 from 843 total number, during 1990-2000 and about 170 from 430 researchers, over 2001-2010. It was observed that the individual and collective doses achieved by the workers in the period 1990-1999 were higher than those recorded after 2000.
