Abstract
The modern determination of standards (benchmarks, threshold values, etc.) is achieved in a multistep process, beginning with the definition of the subjects of protection as well as protection goals and levels of protection, respectively (Fig. 1). The process is not strictly divided from step to step. The assessment of data from one step often requires a feedback to the primary subjects of protection and protection goals.
