A benchmark set of measured beta particle spectra for a standardised Co-60 hot particle source is presented. The spectra were obtained for conditions similar to those encountered in practical dosimetric applications. The measured spectra were compared with Monte Carlo calculations using the MCNP code. These comparisons provided information to guide the selection of the optimal set-up parameters of the code. Important differences were observed in the MCNP calculated spectra when ITS and the default indexing style algorithm were used. Overall the calculations using the default mode of MCNP version 48 provide the best agreement with the measured electron spectra
