The work of

7、preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental,

8、 in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Pu

9、blication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the member bodies casting a vote. ASTM International is one of the worlds largest voluntary standards development organizations with global participation from affected stakeholders. ASTM technical committees follow rigorous

10、due process balloting procedures. A project between ISO and ASTM International has been formed to develop and maintain a group of ISO/ASTM radiation processing dosimetry standards. Under this project, ASTM Commitee E61, Radiation Processing, is responsible for the development and maintenance of thes

11、e dosimetry standards with unrestricted participation and input from appropriate ISO member bodies. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. Neither ISO nor ASTM International shall be held responsible for identifying any o

12、r all such patent rights. International Standard ISO/ASTM 52303 was developed by ASTM Committee E61, Radiation Processing, through Subcommittee E61.03, Dosimetry Application, and by Technical Committee ISO/TC 85, Nuclear energy, nuclear technologies and radiological protection. This rst edition canc

13、els and replaces ASTM E2303-11, which has been technically revised.

Scope 1.1 This document provides guidance in determining absorbed-dose distributions (mapping) in products, mater

15、ials orsubstancesirradiatedingamma,X-ray(bremsstrahlung)and electron beam facilities. NOTE1Forirradiationoffoodandtheradiationsterilizationofhealth care products, specic ISO and ISO/ASTM standards containing dose mapping requirements exist. See ISO/ASTM Practices 51431, 51608, 51649, 51702 and 51818

16、 and ISO 11137-1. Regarding the radiation sterilization of health care products, in those areas covered by ISO 11137-1, that standard takes precedence. 1.2 This guide is one of a set of standards that provides recommendations for properly implementing dosimetry in radiation processing. it is intende

17、d to be read in conjunction with ISO/ASTM 52628. 1.3 Methods of analyzing the dose map data are described. Examples are provided of statistical methods that may be used to analyze dose map data. 1.4 Dose mapping for bulk ow processing and uid streams is not discussed. 1.5 Dosimetry is an element of

18、a total quality management system for an irradiation facility. Other controls besides do- simetry may be required for specic applications such as medical device sterilization and food preservation. 1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its

19、use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro- priate safety and health practices and determine the applica- bility of regulatory requirements prior to use. 2.

Terminology 3.1 Denitions: 3.1.1 absorbed-dose mappingmeasurement of absorbed dose within an irradiated product to produce a one-, two- or three-dimensional distribution map of absorbed dose. 3.1.1.1 Disc

When used in routine production runs in order to compensate for the absence of product, simulated product is sometimes referred to as com- pensating dummy.

Denitions in E170 are compatible with ICRU Report 60; that document, therefore, may be used as an alternative reference.

42、4. Signicance and use 4.1 This guide is one of a set of guides and practices that provide recommendations for properly implementing dosim- etry in radiation processing. In order to understand and effectively use this and other dosimetry standards, consider rst “Practice for Dosimetry in Radiation Pr

43、ocessing,”ASTM/ ISO 52628, which describes the basic requirements that apply whenmakingabsorbeddosemeasurementsinaccordancewith the ASTM E10.01 series of dosimetry standards. In addition, ASTM/ISO 52628 provides guidance on the selection of dosimetry systems and directs the user to other standards t

44、hat provide information on individual dosimetry systems, calibra- tion methods, uncertainty estimation and radiation processing applications. 4.2 Radiation processing is carried out under xed path conditions where (a) a process load is automatically moved through the radiation eld by mechanical mean

45、s or (b)a process load is irradiated statically by manually placing prod- uct at predetermined positions before the process is started. In both cases the process is controlled in such a manner that the process load position(s) and orientation(s) are reproducible within specied limits. NOTE 2Static i

46、rradiation encompasses irradiation of the process load using either manual rotation, no rotation or automated rotation. 4.3 Some radiation processing facilities that utilize a xed conveyor path for routine processing may also characterize a region within the radiation eld for static radiation proces
