This paper describes the present status of dosimetry as one of the useful technique for the process/quality control in radiation application and radiation research/testing. It introduces (a)activities in dose standardization of International Organization for Standardization(ISO) and International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA) on publication of standards and organization of workshops, (b)recent efforts for consistency check in dose evaluation of electrons having energies above 4MeV, and (c)development status of dosimeter systems relevant to new requirements in dosimetry. It also comments on importance of planning for succession of high-dose dosimetry technology and education/training of dosimetry workers/researchers.
