When calculating overall accuracy, the uncertainty in the following factors shall be taken into account to the extent appropriate to the dosimetry service offered: energy response, linearity, directionality, which should be characteristic of each type of dosimeter, and batch homogeneity. These uncertainties, and hence the overall accuracy, can be determined through the type testing of each type of dosimeter. The overall accuracy requirements ... include both absolute and relative errors (i.e., bias and precision). The accuracy shall be based on a traceable standard. 1, record 2, English, - overall%20accuracy

Dans le calcul de l'exactitude générale, le service de dosimétrie doit tenir compte de l'incertitude des facteurs suivants autant que possible : la réponse en énergie, la linéarité, la directionnalité qui devrait être caractéristique de chaque type de dosimètre, ainsi que l'homogénéité du lot qui doit être vérifiée régulièrement. Ces incertitudes, ainsi que l'exactitude générale, peuvent être déterminés par des essais de type pour chaque type de dosimètre. Les indications d'exactitude générale [...] comprennent à la fois des erreurs absolues et relatives (soit la dérive et la précision) et doivent se fonder sur une norme retraçable. 1, record 2, French, - exactitude%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale
