a) They are worn on the trunk or the extremities of the body.

b) They measure the personal dose equivalents H p (10) and H p (0,07) from external X and gamma, neutron and beta radiations, and may measure the personal dose equivalent rates Ḣ p (10) and Ḣ p (0,07) for the same radiations (for alarming purposes).

c) They have a digital indication.

d) They may have alarm functions for the personal dose equivalents or personal dose equivalent rates.

This standard is therefore applicable to the measurement of the following combinations of dose quantities (including the respective dose rates) and radiation
