International Commission on Radiological Protection
 scroll 
The "International Commission on Radiological
Protection", was founded under the name "International X-ray
and Radium Protection Committee" upon the resolution of the 2nd International Congress for Radiology in 1928. In 1950 the commission
was restructured and renamed. It co-operates closely with the International
Commission for Radiological units and measurements (ICRU) and has official
links to the World Health Organisation (WHO), to the International Labour
Organisation (ILO) and other corporations of the United Nations, including
the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation
(UNSCEAR) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as well
as the Commission of the European Communities, the Nuclear Energy Agency
of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (NEA),
the International Standard Organisation (ISO), the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) and the International Radiation Protection Association
(IRPA). The International Commission on Radiological Protection consists
of a chairman, twelve further members and a secretary. The members are
voted based on nominations by the ICRP submitted by the national delegations
of the International Congress for Radiology and by its own members.
The ICRP members are selected on the basis of their recognized performances
in medical radiology, radiation protection, physics, medical physics,
biology, genetics, biochemistry and biophysics.
