Harmonisation of measurements in radiation protection

New operational quantities Hp(10) and Hx(10) are used in radiation protection according to the Basic Safety Standards. While some termoluminescent dosimeters are ready to be used in new quantities with minor changes of calibration constant, in general response of electronic survey meters differs over the energy interval of interest from the response when calibrated in old units. In principle it is possible to use old survey instruments as well for measurements in H*(10) in order to reduce the cost of buying new ones but with paying extra time with more elaborate interpretation of results.
