Abstract

In this paper a calibration measurement setup for band-selective personal exposure meters is presented. The equipment and the methods of the measurement procedure are described together with the uncertainty assessment of the measurement equipment, the calibration and the measurement procedure. The average measurement error for the reference measurement is ± 0.32 dB, while the expanded uncertainty with a confidence interval of 95% is calculated to 2.5 dB. Furthermore a straight forward calibration method is described and tested using the EME SPY 120 device from Antenessa. Up to seven different measurements must be performed for a full characterization of personal exposure meters. The presented measurement setup leads to a higher accuracy of the calibration and the achieved results will allow for an improved exposure assessment in experimental and epidemiological studies.
