ASTM E1900-97 - 10.8.1997
 
1. Scope

1.1 This guide covers the minimum requirements for dosimetry and adsorbed-dose validation needed to conduct research on the irradiation of food and agricultural products. Such research includes establishment of the quantitative relationship between the absorbed dose and the relevant effects in these products. This guide also describes the overall need for dosimetry in such research, and in reporting of the results.
