This document is divided into three parts: The first part (Section 2.- Description of the Gafchromic™ dosimetry system), describes the two main components of the dosimetry system, namely the DoseReader 04 and the Gafchromic™ film dosimeters. It includes information about handling the film, its optical absorption behaviour and influence quantities (environmental parameters) that affect the performance of these film dosimeters. Also, it describes the procedure for set up and for routine optimal operation of the reader. The second part (Sections 3 and 4, Traceability and Characterization), describes the procedures for establishing traceability to the international measurement system and for characterization of the dosimetry system. The third part (Sections 5 and 6.- Use of this dosimetry system for SIT), describes the use of this calibrated dosimetry system for gamma irradiators likely to be used for irradiating insects either for research or commercial purposes. It reviews the procedures for carrying out dose mapping for process validation, as well as process control.
