skos:definition "1. A prospective restriction on the 'individual' 'dose' delivered by a 'source', <br/>
which serves as an upper bound on the 'dose' in 'optimization 'of <i>protection and <br/>safety</i> for the 'source'.<br/>
<b>!</b> For <br/>
'medical exposure', 'dose constraint' levels should be interpreted as 'guidance '<br/>
'levels', except when used in optimizing the 'protection' of persons exposed for <br/>medical research purposes or of persons, other than 'workers', who assist in the <br/>care, support or comfort of exposed patients.<br/>
2. A prospective and 'source' related restriction on the 'individual' 'dose'<br/>
delivered by the 'source' which serves as a bound in the <i>optimization of <br/>protection and safety</i> of the 'source'. For 'occupational exposures', the <i>dose <br/>constraint</i> is a 'source' related value of 'individual' 'dose' used to limit the range of <br/>options considered in the 'process' of 'optimization'. For 'public exposure', the <i>dose <br/>constraint</i> is an upper bound on the 'annual doses' that <i>members of the public<br/></i>should receive from the planned 'operation' of any controlled 'source'. The <i>dose<br/></i>to which the 'dose constraint' applies is the 'annual dose' to any 'critical group', <br/>summed over all 'exposure pathways', arising from the predicted 'operation' of the <br/>controlled 'source'. The 'dose constraint' for each 'source' is intended to ensure that <br/>the sum of 'doses' to the 'critical group' from all controlled 'sources' remains within <br/>the 'dose limit'. For 'medical exposure' the 'dose constraint' levels should be <br/>interpreted as 'guidance levels', except when used in optimizing the 'protection' of <br/>persons exposed for medical research purposes or of persons, other than <br/>'workers', who assist in the care, support or comfort of exposed patients.

Radiological Protection’s explanation of the 'dose constraint' concept [16].<br/>" (en)
