The ISO 11929 series specifies a procedure, in the field of ionizing radiation metrology, for the
calculation of the “decision threshold”, the “detection limit” and the “limits of the coverage interval” for
a non-negative ionizing radiation measurand when counting measurements with preselection of time
or counts are carried out. The measurand results from a gross count rate and a background count rate
as well as from further quantities on the basis of a model of the evaluation. In particular, the measurand
can be the net count rate as the difference of the gross count rate and the background count rate, or
the net activity of a sample. It can also be influenced by calibration of the measuring system, by sample
treatment and by other factors.
ISO 11929 has been divided into four parts covering elementary applications in this document, advanced
applications on the basis of the ISO/IEC Guide 3-1 in ISO 11929-2, applications to unfolding methods in
ISO 11929-3, and guidance to the application in ISO 11929-4.
This document covers basic applications of counting measurements frequently used in the field
of ionizing radiation metrology. It is restricted to applications for which the uncertainties can be
evaluated on the basis of the ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 (JCGM 2008). In Annex A, the special case of repeated
counting measurements with random influences is covered, while measurements with linear analogous
ratemeters are covered in Annex B.
ISO 11929-2 extends the former ISO 11929:2010 to the evaluation of measurement uncertainties
according to the ISO/IEC Guide 98-3-1. ISO 11929-2 also presents some explanatory notes regarding
general aspects of counting measurements and on Bayesian statistics in measurements.
ISO 11929-3 deals with the evaluation of measurements using unfolding methods and counting
spectrometric multi-channel measurements if evaluated by unfolding methods, in particular, for
alpha- and gamma-spectrometric measurements. Further, it provides some advice on how to deal with
correlations and covariances.
ISO 11929-4 gives guidance to the application of the ISO 11929 series, summarizes shortly the general
procedure and then presents a wide range of numerical examples. Information on the statistical roots
of ISO 11929 and on its current development may be found elsewhere .
The ISO 11929 series also applies analogously to other measurements of any kind especially if a
similar model of the evaluation is involved. Further practical examples can be found, for example,
in ISO 18589 , ISO 9696 , ISO 9697 , ISO 9698 , ISO 10703 , ISO 7503 , ISO 28218 , and
ISO 11665 .
NOTE A code system, named UncertRadio, is available for calculations according to ISO 11929-1
to ISO 11929-3. UncertRadio can be downloaded for free from https: //www .thuenen
.de/de/fi/arbeitsbereiche/meeresumwelt/leitstelle -umweltradioaktivitaet -in -fisch/uncertradio/. The
download contains a setup installation file which copies all files and folders into a folder specified by the user.
After installation one has to add information to the PATH of Windows as indicated by a pop-up window during
installation. English language can be chosen and extensive “help” information is available.
