The characteristics of radiochromic films such as the direct visualization of radiation field, ease of use and data analysis are suited for the dosimetry monitoring in tests of radiation hardness space applications. In particular, in this work, in order to study the dependence of radiation type, energy and dose rate, as well as the dynamic range of EBT3 Gafchromic films, a set of films was exposed to radiation sources used in total ionizing dose ( 60 Co gamma- and 90 Sr/ 90 Y beta-rays). The results have been found to be particularly suited for the employment of this kind of films in radiation hardness assurance tests.
