Basis Of Presentation And Consolidation [Abstract] | |
Basis Of Presentation And Consolidation | (1) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation  As used herein, the terms “Company,” “Landauer,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer collectively to Landauer, Inc. and its subsidiaries through which its various businesses are conducted.  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and variable interest entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Entities in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but is considered to have significant influence, are accounted for on the equity method.  The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  We believe that we have included all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended March 31 , 201 6 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 201 6 .  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 201 5 (the “Form 10-K”) and other financial information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The September 30, 201 5 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.  The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the Form 10-K, and there have been no changes to the accounting policies for the six- month period ended March 31 , 201 6 .  |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | (2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements  Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted  In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. Public companies would now be required to adopt the new guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB decided to allow earlier adoption of the new revenue standard, but not earlier than the original effective date. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position and liquidity.  In June 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on accounting for share-based payments requiring a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards when that performance target may be achieved after the requisite service period for the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period for which the requisite service has already been rendered. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position and liquidity.  In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position and liquidity.  In January 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on accounting for unusual and infrequently occurring items, which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. An unusual and infrequently occurring item will no longer be classified as an extraordinary item and segregated from ordinary operations in the income statement, but will be shown as a component of income from continuing operations or separately disclosed in notes to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position and liquidity.  In February 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance on the model used to evaluate whether certain legal entities should be consolidated. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position and liquidity.  In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs. This update requires a company to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. Currently, debt issuance costs are presented as a deferred asset. The recognition and measurement requirements will not change as a result of this guidance. The update requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position and liquidity.  In July 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory. This update requires a company to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position and liquidity.  In September 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on business combination provisional adjustments during the measurement period. The new standard requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined and sets forth new disclosure requirements related to the adjustments. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position and liquidity.  In November 2015, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of deferred income taxes. This update requires a company to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position rather than the current requirement to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position and liquidity.  In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. This guidance retains the current accounting for classifying and measuring investments in debt securities and loans, but requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in net income, except for those accounted for under the equity method or requiring consolidation. The guidance also changes the accounting for investments without a readily determinable fair value and that do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value. A policy election can be made for these investments whereby estimated fair value may be measured at cost and adjusted in subsequent periods for any impairment or changes in observable prices of identical or similar investments. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position and liquidity.  In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting treatment for leases. This guidance will require all leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet of the lessee. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position and liquidity.  In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for equity method investments. This standard eliminates the requirement that when an existing cost method investment qualifies for the use of the equity method, an investor must restate its historical financial statements, as if the equity method had been used during all previous periods. Under the new guidance, at the point an investment qualifies for the equity method, any unrealized gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”) will be recognized through earnings. The standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position and liquidity.  In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance to improve the accounting for share-based payments. This standard makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. The guidance also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its results of operations, financial position and liquidity.  No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.   |

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | (3) Fair Value Measurements  The Company estimate s the fair value of assets and liabilities in accordance with the framework established by the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements . The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation, gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates in the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy is based on whether the significant inputs int o the valuation are observable. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s significant market assumptions. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is reported is based on the lowest level input that is significant to t he measurement in its entirety.  The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:  · Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the reporting date . · Level 2 – I nputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. · Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.   Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:      Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2016  (Dollars in Thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3  Asset Category  Cash equivalents $ 500 $ - $ -  Mutual funds 3,710 - -  Available-for-sale securities - 2,341 -  Total financial assets at fair value $ 4,210 $ 2,341 $ -   Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2015  (Dollars in Thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3  Asset Category  Cash equivalents $ 272 $ - $ -  Mutual funds 3,237 - -  Available-for-sale securities - 1,763 -  Total financial assets at fair value $ 3,509 $ 1,763 $ -  Following is a description of each category in the fair value hierarchy and the financial assets and liabilities of the Company that were included in each category at March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, measured on a recurring basis.  The Level 1 financial assets were comprised of investments in trading securities, which are reported in other long-term assets. The investments are held in a Rabbi trust for benefits under the Company’s deferred compensation plan. Under the plan, participants designate investment options to serve as the basis for measurement of the notional value of their accounts. The investments include a money market fund and mutual funds that are publicly traded. The fair values of the shares or underlying securities of these funds are based on quoted market prices.  The Level 2 financial assets are long-term investments consisting primarily of fixed income mutual funds, classified as available-for-sale securities. These investments are reported in other long-term assets. The investments in fixed income mutual funds are valued based on the net asset value of the underlying securities as provided by the investment account manager. The investments are not restricted or subject to a lockup and may be redeemed on demand. Notice within a certain period of time prior to redemption is not required.  The Company’s long-term debt is classified as Level 2. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt is the approximated fair value, as the stated interest rates were variable in relation to prevailing market rates.  The Company recorded a liability for contingent consideration during the second quarter of fiscal 2014 related to the acquisition of ilumark GmbH and the launch of its new medical products.
