Abstract
After a short historical review, the goals of the ICRU are first presented: definition of quantities and units to be used in the field of ionising radiation, recommendations of measurement procedures for these quantities, definitions of terms and concepts, and investigation and selection of physical parameters. As far as the other international organisations are concerned, some of the main achievements are briefly presented for the IEC, UNSCEAR, ICRP, WHO and IAEA. Besides technical developments and dosimetric intercomparisons, the importance of the education and of the continuous information of the radiologists is stressed. The role played by the CEC in education is recognised in the field of radiation protection in diagnostic radiology.
