The radiometric calibration of spectrometric telescopes assures that the observed spectral radiance (or irradiance) is measured on a scale that is defined by the radiometric standards realised and used in terrestrial laboratories. All SOHO instruments therefore have been calibrated by use of source and detector standards that are traceable to the primary radiometric standards. As any calibration, the laboratory calibration has uncertainties. Moreover, environmental influences, namely molecular and particulate contamination on the ground and effects by photon and particle radiaton in space, do change the responsivity of the instruments. In two workshops held at the International Space Science Institute in Bern the individual instrument calibrations were discussed and reconciled. The outcome of the workshops, to which all instrument groups contributed, is summarised in a book that is presented here before it goes to press.
