Many requirements for the quality, assurance of the licensee and the indepe
ndent measuring centre can be derived from the Directive for the "Surveilla
nce of emission and immission of mining work" (REI Mining). However these s
hould be viewed within the context of "Instructions of measurement related
to the surveillance of radioactivity in the environment and to the registra
tion of radioactive emissions from nuclear installations" (MA). Further, it
would be advisable to compare the REI Mining requirements to both the Dire
ctive for the "Surveillance of emission and immission from nuclear installa
tions" (REI) as well as to the "General administration order to the integra
ted measuring and information system of the precautionary Radiation Protect
ion Act" (AVV-IMIS). In this article, the various requirements are compared
, their common and different aspects are discussed, and possible conclusion
s for the licensee, the independent measuring centre and the authority of s
upervision and licencing are presented.
