Q

absorbed dose

A

Quantity of radiating energy absorbed per unit of
mass of a specified target. [Note, for the purposes
of this Standard, the term dose is used to mean
absorbed dose and the unit of absorbed dose is the
APPPC RSPM 9 / page 4
gray (Gy) where 1 Gy is equivalent to the absorption
of 1 joule per kilogram]. [ISO 11137-1:2006]

Q

irradiation

A

Treatment with any type of ionizing radiation.

[ISPM 5]

19
Q

irradiation container

A

Holder in which product is transported through the
irradiator. The holder can be a carrier, cart, tray,
product carton, pallet, tote or other container.
[ISO 11137-1:2006]

20
Q

irradiation facility

A

Establishment where the irradiation process is
performed. There are different types of irradiation
facilities depending on the irradiator type, the
radiation source, the conveyor system and the
operating mode. An irradiation facility consists of
an irradiator, shipping and receiving docks, storage
zones for irradiated and non-irradiated products,
conveyor system, safety systems and the
infrastructure for personnel and facility services
including record control.

21
Q

irradiator

A

The assembly of equipment and its housing where
product is exposed to ionizing radiation. The
irradiator provides for safe and reliable radiation
processing and includes the source of radiation and
associated mechanisms together with the conveyor,
safety devices and biological shield.

22
Q

irradiator operator

A

Organization or body responsible for irradiating the

product. [ISO 11137-1:2006]

23
Q

ISPM

A

International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures.

[ISPM 5]

24
Q

loading configuration

A

Defined arrangement of product (food) placed in or
on the irradiation container. Dose mapping is
carried out for a particular loading configuration
and this loading configuration is replicated to
ensure consistent irradiation of product. [Australian
Interstate Certification Assurance document on
Irradiation Treatment.]

25
Q

NPPO

A

National Plant Protection Organization. [ISPM 5]
Note: For the purposes of this standard activities
designated for the NPPO may be performed by
other organizations approved by the NPPO.

26
Q

operational qualification (OQ)

A

Process of obtaining and documenting evidence that
installed equipment operates within predetermined
APPPC RSPM 9 / page 7 limits when used in accordance with its operational procedures. [ISO 11137-1:2006]

27
Q

performance qualification (PQ)

A

Process of obtaining and documenting evidence that
the equipment, as installed and operated in
accordance with operational procedures, consistently
performs in accordance with predetermined criteria
and thereby yields product meeting its specification.

A

Any legislation, regulation or official procedure
having the purpose to prevent the introduction
and/or spread of quarantine pests, or to limit the
economic impact of regulated non-quarantine pests.
[ISPM 5]

29
Q

preventive action

A

Action intended to eliminate the cause of a potential
non-conformity or other undesirable potential
situation. There can be more than one cause for
a potential non-conformity. Preventive action is
taken to prevent occurrence whereas corrective
action is taken to prevent reoccurrence. [ISO
9000:2005]

30

A

Material which may be affixed to, or printed on, the
process load and which undergoes a visual change
when exposed to ionizing radiation. These
indicators do not provide a quantitative measure of
dose and may not work or be unreliable at low
APPPC RSPM 9 / page 8 doses (for example in the dose range employed for phytosanitary treatments). [Adapted from ISO/ASTM 51539:2005]

34
Q

radiation source

A

Device that emits ionizing radiation.

A

A quarantine pest or a regulated non-quarantine

pest. [ISPM 5]

38
Q

re-infestation

A
