Provides complementary guidance to the IAEA Advisory Material (TS-G-1.1) on the technical aspects of testing. Testing a package design is often a time consuming and expensive exercise. A perfectly executed series of tests are useless if subsequently the philosophy of the test method is challenged and rejected.
