An intercomparison of eye lens dosemeters has been conducted in terms of the quantityHp(3). For the first time, besides photon radiation also beta radiation qualities were included. Three dosemeter types designed for the quantityHp(3) and ten forHp(0.07) took part in the intercomparison. As shown in a previous intercomparison for photon radiation only, the dosemeters designed forHp(0.07) and calibrated in terms ofHp(3) performed well in photon radiation fields. But for beta radiation, it turned out thatHp(0.07) dosemeters over-responded up to a factor of 5 000 (with respect to the trueHp(3) dose) in the medium beta energy range ((85)Kr with a beta endpoint energy of 0.69 MeV), while someHp(3) dosemeters performed quite well. For medium (57 keV) and high (662 keV) energy photon radiation, all dosemeter types showed response values well within the trumpet curve according to the current draft of ISO 14146.
