1.1 This practice covers the handling, testing, and procedurefor using a radiochromic optical waveguide dosimetry system tomeasure absorbed dose in materials irradiated by photons in termsof absorbed dose in water.
1.2 This practice applies to radiochromic optical waveguidedosimeters that can be used within part or all of the specifiedranges as follows:
1.2.1 The absorbed dose range is from 1 to 10 000 Gy forphotons.
1.2.2 The absorbed dose rate is from 0.001 to 1000 Gy/s.
1.2.3 The radiation energy range for photons is from 0.1 to 10MeV.
1.2.4 The irradiation temperature range is from -78 to+60°C.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establishappropriate safety and health practices and determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
