The value of a parameter recommended by the Commission for use in a bio- kinetic model in the absence of more specific information (i.e. the exact value used to calculate the dose coefficients presented in ICRP publications). Reference values may be specified to a greater degree of precision than that which would be chosen to reflect the uncertainty with which an experimental value is known in order to avoid the accumulation of rounding errors in a calculation.

=== from [[ICRP Publication 123]], 2013 ===

Value of a quantity recommended by the Commission for use in dosimetric applications or biokinetic models. Reference values are fixed and specified with no uncertainty, independent of the fact that the basis of these values may include many uncertainties.

=== from [[ICRP Publication 116]], 2010 ===

Value of a quantity recommended by ICRP for use in dosimetric applications or biokinetic models. Reference values are fixed and specified with no uncertainty, independent of the fact that the basis of these values includes many uncertainties.

=== from [[ICRP Publication 110]], 2008 ===

Standardised value of a parameter recommended by the Commission. Examples are the standardised set of anatomical and physiological parameters for radiation protection purposes summarised in [[ICRP Publication 89]] (2002).

=== from [[ICRP Publication 103]], 2007 ===

The value of a parameter recommended by the Commission for use in a biokinetic model in the absence of more specific information, i.e., the exact value used to calculate the dose coefficients presented in the report. Reference values may be specified to a greater degree of precision than that which would be chosen to reflect the uncertainty with which an experimental value is known, in order to avoid the accumulation of rounding errors in a calculation.
