FR Recognition Number 14-383
Standard
ISO ASTM  51702 Third edition 2013-04-15
Practice for dosimetry in a gamma facility for radiation processing
Scope/Abstract
ISO/ASTM 51702:2013 outlines the installation qualification program for an irradiator and the dosimetric procedures to be followed during operational qualification, performance qualification, and routine processing in facilities that process products with ionizing radiation from radionuclide gamma sources to ensure that product has been treated within a predetermined range of absorbed dose. Other procedures related to operational qualification, performance qualification, and routine processing that may influence absorbed dose in the product are also discussed.
NOTE 1 — Dosimetry is only one component of a total quality assurance program for adherence to good manufacturing practices used in radiation processing applications.
NOTE 2 — ISO/ASTM Practices 51818 and 51649 describe dosimetric procedures for low and high enery electron beam facilities for radiation processing and ISO/ASTM Practice 51608 describes procedures for X-ray (bremsstrahlung) facilities for radiation processing.
