ASTM-51539 › Standard Guide for Use of Radiation-Sensitive Indicators
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 This guide covers the use of radiation-sensitive indicators in radiation processing. These indicators may be labels, papers, inks or packaging materials which undergo a color change or become colored when exposed to ionizing radiation.
1.2 The purpose of these indicators is to determine visually whether or not a product has been irradiated, rather than to measure different dose levels.
1.3 Such materials are not dosimeters and should not be used as a substitute for proper dosimetry. Information about dosimetry systems for ionizing radiation is provided in other ASTM and ISO/ASTM documents (see ISO/ASTM Guide 51261).
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
