Practice for dosimetry in an electron beam facility for radiation processing at energies between 300 keV and 25 MeV. 2. ed. [Withdrawn]

This practice covers dosimetric procedures to be followed in facility characterization, process qualification, and routine processing using electron beam radiation to ensure that the entire product has been treated with an acceptable range of absorbed doses. Other procedures related to facility characterization (including equipment documentation), process qualification, and routine product processing that may influence and may be used to monitor absorbed dose in the product are also discussed. The electron energy range covered in this practice is between 300 keV and 25 MeV, although there are some discussions for other energies. Dosimetry is only one component of a total quality assurance program for an irradiation facility. Other controls besides dosimetry may be required for specific applications such as medical device sterilization and food preservation. For the irradiation of food and the radiation sterilization of health care products, other specific ISO standards exist. For food irradiation, see ISO/ASTM Practice 51431. For the radiation sterilization of health care products, see ISO 11137. In those areas covered by ISO 11137, that standard takes precedence
