SSDL Network

Objective

The IAEA/WHO SSDL Network is an association of national SSDLs that have agreed to cooperate in promoting the objectives of the Network under international auspices. Its objectives are:

• Accuracy: to provide services, create and distribute knowledge in radiation dosimetry in order to improve the accuracy in dosimetry measurements;
• Traceability: to establish and facilitate links between end users of dosimeters, the SSDL members and the International measurement system for ionising radiation;
• Consistency: to promote international recommendations on methods applied for calibration and performance of dosimetry in order to achieve consistency of measurements in member states;
• Cooperation: to promote further the exchange of experience between the members and the metrology community, and to provide support to each other where necessary.
