Official basis (Framework): Related contrast technique, not staining. ISO 11665-4:2021 concerns integrated radon measurement; it is not blanket authority for neutron dosimetry.
Procurement note: Typical radon-system supplies, not a neutron dosimetry specification. Detector geometry, batch calibration and processing system must be qualified together.
