IEC 61005:2014规定了中子环境剂量当量（速率）计性能特性的要求，并规定了测试方法，以确定是否符合本标准。本标准规定了一般特性、一般试验程序、辐射特性、电气、机械、安全和环境特性以及鉴定证书（见13.2）。还规定了配备报警装置的中子环境剂量当量（速率）计的报警性能要求和测试程序。与上一版相比，此新版本包括以下重大技术变更: -标准涵盖的仪器的上中子能量增加到20兆电子伏； -修改了由于中子能量引起的相对响应变化的要求；-引入了指示值(中子剂量/剂量率)的可加性条款； -环境测试方法和要求参考IEC 62706。

IEC 61005:2014 specifies requirements for the performance characteristics of neutron ambient dose equivalent (rate) meters, and prescribes the methods of testing in order to determine compliance with this standard. This standard specifies general characteristics, general test procedures, radiation characteristics, electrical, mechanical, safety and environmental characteristics, and also the identification certificate (see 13.2). Requirements and test procedures are also specified for the alarm performance of the neutron ambient dose equivalent (rate) meters, equipped with alarm provisions. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- upper neutron energy of the instruments covered by the standard is increased to 20 MeV;
- requirement for the variation of the relative response due to neutron energy is modified;
- a clause for additivity of the indicated value (neutron dose/dose rate) is introduced;
- environmental testing methods and requirements are referred to IEC 62706.
