Deprication of old NCS reports 2 and 5

Odile Michel

Dear colleagues ,

 

The NCS has published the dosimetry protocols NCS 2 and 5 in 1986 and 1989 respectively. Since then, in 2008 we published a new way to perform both photon and electron dosimetry (dose to water). And as a finalization of the new protocol we published an audit on NCS 18 in December 2013 (NCS 23).

 

To avoid confusion we strongly recommend everybody to fully switch to NCS 18 and not to use NCS 2 and 5 anymore. The old, outdated reports NCS 2 and 5 are still available through the website but we shall discontinue that by January 2019. If needed, the reports will after that date be available upon request.  

 

Best regards, on behalf of the NCS board,

 

Jeroen van de Kamer (chair NCS)
