Abstract
In the United Kingdom the calibration of ionising radiation measuring instruments is necessitated by law. The application of quality related systems has also become more important in diagnostic radiology (25 kV to 150 kV) as quality assurance is being applied increasingly in this area. The present arrangements for the calibration of air kerma meters, air kerma rate meters and kilovoltage measuring devices which are used in diagnostic radiology are reviewed. A gap is identified in the calibration chain in this area. A new radiation metrology laboratory designed to bridge the calibration gap in diagnostic radiology is described.
