                      GermanyIntroduction: The occupational safety of workers is
                      generally the competence of the single German states. All
                      matters of radiation protection in the professional
                      environment are governed by the national nuclear law.
                      Relating regulations form the statuatory framework for dose
                      monitoring. Federal government and states interact in the
                      implementation. A National Dose Registry has been
                      established. Several bodies and institutions are involved in
                      practical aspects of radiation protection.Radiation
                      Protection Ordinance: The Radiation Protection Ordinance is
                      the main statutuary document and regulates the handling of
                      sources of radiation as well as exposure, also including
                      NORM-Materials and medical research and applications.
                      Several paragraphs are dedicated to dose limits and dose
                      monitoring. Competent external/internal monitoring bodies
                      ensure the measurement and evaluation of dose. They have to
                      be notified by appropriate state authorities.Guidelines on
                      dose monitoring: The two parts of the main guideline are
                      dedicated to external and internal monitoring, rsp. The
                      guidelines contain detailed rules to implement the Radiation
                      Protection Ordinance. Under which circumstances is dose
                      monitoring mandatory? How has dose monitoring to be
                      performed. How are doses calculated? Which documentation is
                      required? These and other practical topics are covered. NORM
                      activities are subject of a separate guideline.Competent
                      external/internal monitoring bodies: They are subject to
                      notification by the authorities of the individual German
                      states. Presently there are 4 notified laboratories for
                      monitoring external dose and one laboratory specialised in
                      Radon measurements. For internal monitoring there are xx
                      notified in-vivo laboratorise, yy notified in- vitro
                      monitoring laboratories and zz notified for both in-vivo and
                      in-vitro. A Competent Internal Monitoring Body is described
                      in another contribution to this conference (CIMB-J).Federal
                      Office of Radiation Protection: Provides advice and some
                      mandatory intercomparisons. Operates the National Dose
                      Registry. Professional radiation workers and their
                      individual doses are registrated in the registry. The
                      registry ensures that doses resulting from different
                      employments during a carreer are all included in checking
                      the compliance with dose limits.Federal Radiation Protection
                      Commission: This commission is the advisory board to the
                      national government in matters of Radiation Protection. It
                      consists of individual members called to serve honorarily.
                      It gives recommendations on the different aspects of
                      radiation protection. Relevant to dose monitoring is e.g.
                      its recommendation on how to calculate body dose from
                      external sources.Joint committee of federal states and
                      national government: Coordinates matters of joint interest.
                      It approves e.g. the dosemeters (types) to be used in
                      official external dose monitoring. ‘Physikalische
                      Bundesanstalt’: This is the national state metrological
                      institute. It type tests dosemeters and approves their
                      fit-for-purposeness. It organizes annual intercomparisons
                      for dosemeters.},
