BS ISO 14470:2011 PDF

Scope: 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements for the development, validation and routine control of the process of irradiation using ionizing radiation for the treatment of food, and establishes guidelines for meeting the requirements. NOTE 1 Requirements in this International Standard are consistent with those developed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC/RCP 19-1979, Rev. 2-2003 [21] , and C odex S tan 106-1983, Rev. 1-2003 [22] ). This International Standard covers irradiation processes using the radionuclides 60 Co or 137 Cs, electron beams or X-ray generators. The requirements given in this International Standard are the minimum necessary to control the food irradiation process. NOTE 2 The requirements can be addressed by a food safety management system (see ISO 22000). This International Standard does not specify requirements for the primary production and/or harvesting, post-harvest treatment, storage and shipment, and packaging for foods that are to be irradiated. Only those aspects of the food production directly related to the irradiation process that may affect the safety or quality of the irradiated food are addressed. This International Standard does not specify requirements for occupational safety associated with the design and operation of
