EPCARD stands for “European Program Package for the Calculation of Aviation Route Doses”.

Validation/Approval

EPCARD.Net Version 5.4.3 fulfills the requirements of EC Directive 2013/59/Euratom and its implementation into national law in the states of the European Community, and has been approved​​​​​​​ by the German Federal Aviation Office (LBA) for official dose calculation for flying personnel. EC Directive 2013/59/Euratom refers to ICRP Publication 103​​​​​​​, which introduced a new methodology for dose calculation based on the latest scientific knowledge of radiation risks and operational experience.
