This standard specifies the technical requirements and management regulations for the design, construction and use of gamma irradiation facilities.
This standard is applicable to gamma irradiation facilities for cobalt-60 source, cesium-137 source and other radioactive sources. For accelerator irradiation facilities, reference may be made to this standard.

For the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
ionizing radiation
radiation consisting of charged particles and/or uncharged particles capable of generating ionization which may be generated in primary or secondary process
3.2
sealed radioactive source
solid-state radioactive substances sealed in cladding or solidified in covering layer, whose cladding or covering layer shall be of adequate strength so that the sources may maintain sealing property without radioactive leak under the designed operating conditions and abrasion conditions as well as predicted incident conditions
