Regulations concerning photon radiation:
- Section 29 sentence 1 Nr. 2 of the Measures and Verification Act dated December 11, 2014, as amended.
- Rules for the performance of dosemeter intercomparison measurements according to section 29 sentence 1 of the Measures and Verification Act.
An update according to the recommendation of the Radiation Protection Commission "Requirements for individual dosemeters" is in preparation - Directive covering requirements to be met by individual dosemeter evaluation centres in compliance with the Radiation Protection Ordinance and the X-ray Ordinance dated 10.12.2001, Joint Circular of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) dated 10.12.2001, Joint Ministerial Gazette p. 136 - 144.
Regulations or directives concerning beta radiation:
- Directive covering requirements to be met by individual dosemeter evaluation centres in compliance with the Radiation Protection Ordinance §172(3) dated 29.11.2018, Joint Circular of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) dated 10.12.2001, Joint Ministerial Gazette p. 136 - 144.
- Requirements for individual dosemeters; recommendation of the Radiation Protection Commission.
- Rules for the performance of beta intercomparison measurements.

Costs:
The costs of comparison measurements for photon radiation are calculated in compliance with the “Special Ordinance on Fees for Individually Attributable Public Services Supplied by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt” (Besondere Gebührenverordnung der PTB – PTBBGebV). The costs of comparison measurements for beta radiation are billed according to PTB's currently valid Price List.
