ISO 18589-6:2009 provides a method that allows an estimation of gross radioactivity of alpha- and beta-emitters present in soil samples. ISO 18589-6:2009 applies, essentially, to systematic inspections based on comparative measurements or to preliminary site studies to guide the testing staff both in the choice of soil samples for measurement a ## Source - https://isopublicstorageprod.blob.core.windows.net/opendata/_latest/iso_deliverables_metadata/csv/iso_deliverables_metadata.csv Last verified: 2026-08-05.
