Abstract
Following the publication of the EU Council Directive 96/29, EURADOS coordinated two working groups (WGs) for
promoting the process of harmonisation on individual monitoring of occupationally exposed persons in Europe. An overview
of the major findings of the second WG is presented. Information on the technical and quality standards and on the
accreditation and approval procedures has been compiled. The catalogue of dosimetric services has been updated and
extended. An overview of national regulations and standards for protection from radon and other natural sources in
workplaces has been made, attempting to combine the results from individual monitoring for external, internal and workplace
monitoring. A first status description of the active personal dosemeters, including legislative and technical information, and
their implementation has been made. The importance of practical factors on the uncertainty in the dose measurement has been
estimated. Even if a big progress has been made towards harmonisation, there is still work to be done.
