Abstract：In view of the doubts in the use of 60Co absorbed dose to water calibration factor in the ionization chamber, the calibration factor of absorbed dose to water given by NIM was described in detail. According to the difference of correction items between calibrating ionization chamber and medical accelerator, the correction items were analyzed. The uncertainty of calibration chamber in 60Co radiation field is 0.71%, and the uncertainty of absorbed dose to water of high-energy photons in accelerator is 1.30%. Finally, the suggestions and precautions for calibrating absorbed dose to water of accelerator high-energy photons were given.
