Abstract
The activities and services of the accredited Risø High Dose Reference Laboratory are described. The laboratory operates according to the European standard EN 45001 regarding Operation of Testing Laboratories, and it fulfills the requirements of being able to deliver traceable dose measurements for control of radiation sterilization. The accredited services include:
1.
1. Irradiation of dosimeters and test samples with cobalt-60 gamma rays.
2.
2. Irradiation of dosimeters and test samples with 10 MeV electrons.
3.
3. Issue of and measurement with calibrated dosimeters.
4.
4. Measurement of the dosimetric parameters of an irradiation facility.
5.
5. Measurement of absorbed dose distribution in irradiated products.
The paper describes these services and the procedures necessary for their execution.
