Описание (английский):

This document is intended for the validation of codes used for the calculation of doses received by individuals on board aircraft. It gives guidance to radiation protection authorities and code developers on the basic functional requirements which the code fulfils. Depending on any formal approval by a radiation protection authority, additional requirements concerning the software testing can apply.

Overview

ISO 20785-4:2019 - "Dosimetry for exposures to cosmic radiation in civilian aircraft - Part 4: Validation of codes" provides guidance for the validation of computer codes used to calculate radiation doses received by aircrew and passengers. The standard focuses on galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) and defines basic functional requirements and validation approaches so that calculated dose estimates can be trusted for routine dose assessment and regulatory use. It is intended for radiation protection authorities, code developers and organizations performing aircrew dosimetry.

Key topics and requirements

Scope and purpose: Validation of dose-calculation software used on board aircraft, with emphasis on the functional requirements a code should meet.

Operational quantities: Discusses the relationship between effective dose and the operational quantity *ambient dose equivalent H(10)**, and how validation can use ambient dose equivalent as a measurable proxy for effective dose.

Validation approaches: Guidance on validating codes by comparison with:

Measured data traceable to national standards (flight measurements of H*(10) or route doses)
Reference/ICRU data and established models

Functional elements: Expected software functionality such as geographic and altitude dependence, solar cycle phase, magnetic cut-off rigidity, and route dose computation.

Software testing considerations: Notes that additional regulatory or authority-specific software testing and formal approval processes may apply.

Terminology and units: Definitions of key quantities (fluence, absorbed dose, dose equivalent, effective dose, cut-off rigidity, pressure altitude, etc.) to ensure consistent interpretation.

Applications and users

This standard is practical for:

Radiation protection authorities establishing approval or oversight criteria for dose-assessment codes.

Software developers of cosmic‑radiation dosimetry models who need to demonstrate validation against measurements and reference datasets.

Airlines and aviation safety managers implementing crew dose monitoring and roster planning to comply with occupational exposure limits (e.g., EU Basic Safety Standards).

Dosimetrists and researchers performing route dose calculations, audits, or method comparisons.

Regulatory auditors verifying that dose calculation practices are robust and traceable.

Typical applications include routine assessment of aircrew effective dose (by folding calculated dose rates with flight rosters), validation of new or updated dosimetry codes, and supporting compliance with ICRP/ICRU guidance and national regulations.
