Verification method 

 

9.1 Introduction 

9.1.1  This  verification  procedure  defines  methods  and  tools  of  primary  and  periodic 

verification procedure of the dosimeter-radiometer PM1403.  

9.1.2  Produced  instruments  and  instruments  repaired  because  of  non-compliance  of 

metrological performance with specification requirements are subject to primary verification. 

Instruments in operation are subject to periodic verification. 
9.1.3  Verification  is  carried  out  by  local  state  metrological  services  according  to  current 

standards, or by authorized companies. 

Verification frequency of instruments in use 

 12 months. 

 

9.2 Verification procedure operations 

During the verification following operations specified in Table 9.1 should be carried out.
