This document specifies the requirements for reference beta radiation fields produced by radioactive sources to be used for the calibration of personal and area dosemeters and dose-rate meters to be used for the determination of the quantities H (0,07), H'(0,07;Ω), H (3) and H'(3;Ω), and for the determination p p of their response as a function of beta particle energy and angle of incidence. The basic quantity in beta dosimetry is the absorbed-dose rate in a tissue-equivalent slab phantom. This document gives the characteristics of radionuclides that have been used to produce reference beta radiation fields, gives examples of suitable source constructions and describes methods for the measurement of the residual maximum beta particle energy and the dose equivalent rate at a depth of 0,07 mm in the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) sphere. The energy range involved lies between 0,22 MeV and 3,6 MeV maximum beta energy corresponding to 0,07 MeV to 1,2 MeV mean beta −1 -1 energy and the dose equivalent rates are in the range from about 10 µSv·h to at least 10 Svh ·. In addition, for some sources, variations of the dose equivalent rate as a function of the angle of incidence [5] are given. However, as noted in ICRU 56 , the ambient dose equivalent, H*(10), used for area monitoring, and the personal dose equivalent, H (10), as used for individual monitoring, of strongly p penetrating radiation, are not appropriate quantities for any beta radiation, even that which penetrates 10 mm of tissue (E > 2 MeV).
