Abstract
An intercomparison of environmental gamma dose and dose rate meters was organised in the Czech Republic. It involved 17 institutions from Austria, the Czech Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany and Slovakia. A total of 30 people participated in measurements using 24 instruments based on 4 different detection principles. The programme of the intercomparison was divided into seven independent experiments which included calibration in well defined radiation fields as well as measurements of natural radiation fields with different terrestrial and/or cosmic components. The experiments did not reveal any significant differences in calibration of the instruments. The differences obtained for measurements of the natural radiation fields could be explained by measurement statistics and individual behaviour of the instruments.
