Standard Guide for Absorbed-Dose Mapping in Radiation Processing Facilities
Superseded date

23-01-2024

Published date

05-06-2015

1.1This document provides guidance in determining absorbed-dose distributions (mapping) in products, materials or substances irradiated in gamma, X-ray (bremsstrahlung) and electron beam facilities.

Note 1:For irradiation of food and the radiation sterilization of health care products, specific ISO and ISO/ASTM standards containing dose mapping requirements exist. See ISO/ASTM Practices 51431, 51608, 51649, 51702 and 51818 and ISO 11137-1. Regarding the radiation sterilization of health care products, in those areas covered by ISO 11137-1, that standard takes precedence.

1.2This guide is one of a set of standards that provides recommendations for properly implementing dosimetry in radiation processing. it is intended to be read in conjunction with ISO/ASTM 52628.

1.3Methods of analyzing the dose map data are described. Examples are provided of statistical methods that may be used to analyze dose map data.

1.4Dose mapping for bulk flow processing and fluid streams is not discussed.

1.5Dosimetry is an element of a total quality management system for an irradiation facility. Other controls besides dosimetry may be required for specific applications such as medical device sterilization and food preservation.

1.6This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.
