CALIBRATED DOSIMETRY SYSTEM.
Other than LDR remote
  afterloader sources where the source output or activity is determined by the
  manufacturer, a licensee must have a calibrated dosimetry system available for
  use. To satisfy this requirement, one of the following conditions must be met.
(A) The system must have been calibrated
  using a system or source traceable to the National Institute of Standards and
  Technology (NIST) and published protocols accepted by nationally recognized
  bodies; or by a calibration laboratory accredited by the American Association
  of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM). The calibration must have been performed
  within the previous two years and after any servicing that may have affected
  system calibration; or
(B) The
  system must have been calibrated within the previous four years. Within 18 to
  30 months after that calibration, the system must have been intercompared with
  another dosimetry system that was calibrated within the past 24 months by the
  National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or by a calibration
  laboratory accredited by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine
  (AAPM). The results of the intercomparison must have indicated that the
  calibration factor of the licensee's system had not changed by more than 2%.
  The licensee may not use the intercomparison result to change the calibration
  factor. When intercomparing dosimetry systems to be used for calibrating sealed
  sources for therapeutic units, the licensee must use a comparable unit with
  beam attenuators or collimators, as applicable, and sources of the same
  radionuclide as the source used at the licensee's facility.
