Objectives
• Evaluation of status of operational implementation of Art. 42 of BSS
• Degree of harmonisation• Differences in transposition:
– Choice of dose limits and constraints– Procedures for exposure assessment– ALARA below limits– Reporting requirements– Inspection and enforcement

Methods for dose assessment
• Dose calculation by software packages• CARI 6 and EPCARD most frequently
used• Rarely pre-calculated tables for flight
schedules• Only a few airplanes (in Germany)
equipped with on-board measurement equipment

Conclusions
• Appropriate legislation implemented• Harmonisation:
Need for guidance:– Treatment of dose limits and constraints– Employment of freelancers – Crew members working for different
airlines
(future) Important role for EASA

Remark on EASA and
harmonisation
• Regulation EC 216/2008: uniform application of common rules
But…
No evidence in respect to cosmic radiation !
