This document applies to personal dosemeters with the following characteristics:
a) They are worn on the trunk, close to the eye, or on the extremities.
b) They measure the personal dose equivalents H p (1 0), H p (3), and H p (0,07), from external X and gamma, neutron (not for H p (3)), and beta radiations, and may measure the respective personal dose equivalent rates for the same radiations (for alarming purposes).
c) They have a digital indication. This indication may or may not be attached.
d) They have alarm functions for the personal dose equivalents or personal dose equivalent rates except for hybrid dosemeters. For hybrid dosemeters an alarm function for the personal dose equivalents shall be implemented in the associated readout system.
