Aim of the Network
The aim is to support the protection of European citizens against the danger from ionizing radiation. The success depends on the quality of measured and simulated data. Such data should be produced by procedures and measurements that are reliable and quality assured. Only measurement devices that are suitable for the purpose of measurement in the exposure situation should be used.
Quality assured measurements and calculations based on quality assured data are needed in environmental monitoring, emergency response, civil protection, and protection of workers and public from harmful effects of ionizing radiation. This is required by Basic Safety Standard 2013/59/Euratom and the EURATOM Treaty. The aim of the Network is to provide the capacity to implement quality assurance and quality assured measurements that are traceable to the SI for all scenarios addressed by these basic regulations and related ones. This will only be possible by smart specialisation and wide stakeholder involvement.
The Network aims to provide expertise for quality assurance and for all measurements in exposure situations addressed under the European legislation.
