The Australian Radiation Laboratory (ARL) maintains national standards of exposure and working standards of absorbed dose. Some of the exposure standards maintained by ARL have been compared recently with those of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) for 100 to 250 kV x-rays and 60Co gamma rays. The absorbed dose standard for 60Co gamma rays is compared regularly with other standards through the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and World Health Organization (WHO). All results show good agreement. A range of calibration qualities is offered at ARL, extending from 10 kV x-rays to 60Co gamma rays. A system of regional facilities has been developed for radiation protection calibrations; each facility is supplied with a set of 137Cs sources and an ionization chamber and electrometer for use with x-rays. The system is now almost complete throughout Australia.
澳大利亚辐射实验室（ARL）维护着国家照射标准和吸收剂量工作标准。ARL维护的一些照射标准最近已与国际计量局（BIPM）针对100至250 kV X射线和60Coγ射线的标准进行了比较。60Coγ射线的吸收剂量标准通过国际原子能机构（IAEA）和世界卫生组织（WHO）定期与其他标准进行比较。所有结果均显示出良好的一致性。ARL提供一系列校准资质，范围从10 kV X射线到60Coγ射线。已建立了一个用于辐射防护校准的区域设施系统；每个设施都配备了一组137Cs源以及一个用于X射线的电离室和静电计。该系统目前在澳大利亚各地几乎已全部完成。
