56Co and 66Ga with γ-ray energies covering the range of 0.84–3.55 and 0.68–4.81MeV, respectively, are important radionuclides for Ge detector calibration. The newly evaluated relative γ-ray intensities were recommended using the measurements finished after 2000 year by Baglin and Browne in 2004. In 2005 China groups measured the relative γ-ray intensities. The China measurements were about 2% systematically lower than other measurements and these evaluations. In this paper the discrepancies among these measurements and the evaluations are analyzed carefully and the new evaluations are re-recommended.
