Irradiation of passive dosimeters, for readout by the customer, is available for most of the beam qualities. These irradiations are generally in terms of air kerma; for passive dosimeters suitable for insertion in a phantom, irradiation in terms of absorbed dose can be provided by in-phantom irradiation using cobalt-60 gamma rays. See 46010C and 46011C for air-kerma details.
