Summary:This article compiles test results of 105 NORM-containing products categorized into bedding, clothing, and accessories for analysis using correlation coefficient from 2019 to 2022. Relationships between measurement quantities, external doses, internal doses and specific activities are investigated. Internal dose is predominantly related to the radon activity concentration for bedding products, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.8. The coefficients decreases to 0.7 and 0.6 for clothing and accessory products, respectively. Regarding products exceed the regulatory limits, it is challenging to discern correlations between the specific activities and other measurement quantities.
