Abstract	A specific method for efficiency calibration of a mini-orange type beta-spectrometer by means of the continuous beta^{-}-spectrum of ^{90}Sr and the conversion electron spectrum of ^{207}Bi in the energy range from 500 to 2200 keV has been elaborated. In the experiment typical SmCo_5 magnets (6A and 8A) were used. An accuracy of efficiency determination was 5-10 %.
