Principal contributions to QED radiative effects for Moller scattering of polarized particles are investigated. Explicit formulae for the cross section of radiative effects are given in covariant form. A FORTRAN code based on exact expressions for radiative corrections to cross section was used to calculate the results. Detailed numerical analysis for cross sections as well as for polarization asymmetries is given.
