Food authenticity - Determination of 18O/16O isotope ratios in liquid aqueous food matrices by Equilibration - Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (Eq-IRMS)

This document specifies a method for instrumental analysis by equilibration-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (Eq-IRMS) of liquid, aqueous food matrices to determine ¹⁸O/16O isotope ratios of the water of the product. The ¹⁸O/¹⁶O isotope ratios obtained by following this document are expressed as δ¹⁸O values relative to internationally recognised reference materials. This document does not apply to sample preparation. It is assumed that the food sample has been pre-treated as necessary and homogenised. Similarly, the interpretation of the obtained δ¹⁸O values is not covered by this document. Following this protocol will result only in isotope delta values for the sample materials. Although other instrumental techniques can be applied to determine δ¹⁸O values in liquid, aqueous food materials, these other techniques are not covered by this document.

Measurement of radioactivity - Gamma ray and beta emitting radionuclides - Test method to assess the ease of decontamination of surface materials (ISO 8690:2024)

This document applies to the testing of surfaces that may become contaminated by radioactive materials. The ease of decontamination is a property of a surface and an important criterion for selecting surface materials used in the nuclear industry, interim storage or disposal facilities from which contamination can be removed easily and rapidly without damaging the surface. The test described in this document is a rapid laboratory-based method to compare the ease of decontamination of different surface materials. The results from the test can be one parameter to take into account when selecting surface coatings such as varnish or impervious layers such as ceramics and other surfaces. The radionuclides used in this test are those commonly found in the nuclear industry (137Cs, 134Cs and 60Co) in aqueous form. The test can also be adopted for use with other radionuclides and other chemical forms, depending on the customer requirements, if the solutions are chemically stable and do not corrode the test specimen. The test does not measure the ease of decontamination of the surface materials in practical use, as this depends on the radionuclide(s) present, their chemical form, the duration of exposure to the contaminant and the environmental conditions amongst other factors. The test method is not intended to describe general decontamination procedures or to assess the efficiency of decontamination procedures (see ISO 7503-1 to ISO 7503-3). The test method is not suitable for use of radiochemicals if the radionuclide emits low energy gamma rays or beta particles that are readily attenuated in the surface.

The test methods fall into two categories: a) direct measurement of the water sample without any transfer of phase (see ISO 13164-2[7]); b) indirect measurement involving the transfer of the 222Rn from the aqueous phase to another phase (see ISO 13164-3[8] and 13164-4[9]). The test methods can be applied either in the laboratory or on-site. The laboratory is responsible for ensuring the suitability of the test method for the water samples tested.
