<p><span lang="EN-GB">This document is directly applicable to pulsed X-radiation with pulse duration of 0,1 ms up to 10 s. This range covers the whole range used in medical diagnostics at the time of publication. Some specifications can also be applicable for much shorter pulses; one example is the air kerma of one pulse. Such a pulse can be produced, e.g. by X-ray flash units or high-intensity femtosecond-lasers. Other specifications are not applicable for much shorter pulses; one example is the time-dependent behaviour of the air kerma rate. This cannot be measurable for technical reasons as no suitable instrument is available, e.g. for pulses produced by a femtosecond-laser.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">This document specifies the characteristics of reference pulsed radiation for calibrating and testing radiation protection dosemeters and dose rate meters with respect to their response to pulsed radiation. At this point, it is only concerned with the characteristics of single pulses. Single pulses are the most difficult for dosemeters to measure. Determining the dose for repeated pulses is easier, but still more difficult than for continuous radiation, i.e. the performance of the dosemeters when measuring repeated pulses lies between these extremes. The radiation characteristics includes the following:</span></p>
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
<li><span lang="EN-GB">time-dependent behaviour of the air kerma rate of the pulse;</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB">time-dependent behaviour of the X-ray tube high voltage during the pulse;</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB">uniformity of the air kerma rate within a cross-sectional area of the radiation beam;</span></li>

</ol>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">This document does not define new radiation qualities but uses those radiation qualities specified in existing ISO and IEC standards. Instead, this document gives the link between the parameters for pulsed radiation and the parameters for continuous radiation specifying the radiation qualities. It does not specify specific values or series of values for the pulsed radiation field but specifies only those limits for the relevant pulsed radiation parameters that are required for calibrating dosemeters and dose rate meters and for determining their response depending on the said parameters.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">The pulse parameters with respect to the phantom-related quantities were determined using conversion coefficients according to ISO 4037 (all parts). This is possible as the radiation qualities specified in existing ISO and IEC standards are used.</span></p>
