ISO International Standard

ISO/ASTM 52701:2013 provides guidance on determining the performance characteristics of dosimeters and dosimetry systems used in radiation processing.

ISO/ASTM 52701:2013 describes the influence quantities that might affect the performance of dosimeters and dosimetry systems and that should be considered during dosimeter/dosimetry system characterization.

Users of ISO/ASTM 52701:2013 are directed to existing standards and literature for procedures to determine the effects from individual influence quantities and from combinations of more than one influence quantity.

Guidance is provided regarding the roles of the manufacturers, suppliers, and users in the characterization of dosimeters and dosimetry systems.
