BS EN ISO 20785-1:2020

What is ISO 20785‑1 about?  

ISO 20785 discusses standards for dosimetry for exposures to cosmic radiation in civilian aircraft. 

ISO 20785‑1 focuses on the conceptual basis for measurements. 

ISO 20785‑1 is part 1 of a series of documents that specifies the conceptual basis for the determination of ambient dose equivalent for the evaluation of exposure to cosmic radiation in civilian aircraft and for the calibration of instruments used for that purpose. 

Who is ISO 20785‑1 for? 

ISO 20785‑1 on the conceptual basis for measurements for dosimetry for exposures is useful for: 

• Calibration laboratories 
• Radiation protection personnel 
• Civilian aircraft manufacturers 
• Aerospace and defense industries 
• Aviation manufacturers 

Why should you use ISO 20785‑1?  

ISO 20785‑1 helps you to determine ambient dose equivalent onboard aircraft are similar to those devices used at accelerator laboratories. ISO 20785‑1 gives the basis for instruments’ use in the determination of ambient dose equivalent. 

ISO 20785‑1 provides you with the evaluation of exposure to cosmic radiation in aircraft.
