Why accredited labs?
1. Atomic Law Polish Act 2001 : only accredited dosimetry labs are able to perform individual dosimetry and calibration of radiation protection instruments
2. Individual dosimetry service at IFJ since 1960’s based on self-developed technology (thermoluminescence detectors)
3. Efficient usage of personnel
4. Extra score for accredited labs in categorization of scientific institutions in Poland
5. Research & development
6. Source of income

Summary and Conclusions
• 4 IFJ PAN laboratories accredited. IFJ PAN is now one of the
most important supplier of dosimetric services in Poland.
• Using TLD developed technology at IFJ we offer dosimetric
service for more than 17,000 radiation workers. It grows 20-25%
per year.
• Laboratories were modernized in 2005-2007 from structural funds
of EU with total amount of about 0.9 M€.
• Laboratories are actively involved in research & development
• Revenue of accredited labs in 2008 was of 400 k€ and is
increasing about 20% per year.
