Quality assurance of testing methods in incorporation monitoring at the officially recognised incorporation measurement office at Jülich, Germany.
The systematic quality assurance (QA) and control of testing methods in incorporation monitoring consists of continual measures for internal QA and additional measures such as external laboratory controls. This includes among other aspects accuracy, precision and descriptions of the methods as well as the representation and timely availability of analytic results of measurements and internal dose assessment. At the officially recognised incorporation measurement office at Jülich, QA is performed for direct measurements (whole-body counter), indirect measurements with radiochemical testing methods of excretion samples and internal dose assessment.
