It is shown that for a front-to-back geometry of irradiation with photons and neutrons when monitoring doses in accordance with the radiation safety standard NRB-99 or doses in critical organs using previous standards, the requirements imposed on the energy dependence of the sensitivity of dosimeters have hardly changed since 1960. However, the requirements were quite different for photons when monitoring the exposure dose using previous standards.
