(a) may be necessary for the licensee or registrant to comply with Rule R313-15; and

(b) are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate:

(3) The licensee or registrant shall ensure that instruments and equipment used for quantitative radiation measurements, for example, dose rate and effluent monitoring, are calibrated at intervals not to exceed 12 months for the radiation measured, except when a more frequent interval is specified in another applicable part of Title R313 or a license condition.

(4) Each personnel dosimeter, except for direct and indirect reading pocket ionization chambers and those dosimeters used to measure the dose to any extremity, that require processing to determine the radiation dose and that are used by licensees and registrants to comply with Section R313-15-201, with other applicable provisions of Title R313, or with conditions specified in a license or registration shall be evaluated at least quarterly or promptly after replacement, whichever is more frequent.
