Regulatory authorities, academia and industry use these voluntary standards as reference and guidance documents. The standards continue to evolve as the latest technology advances and practices are incorporated. An example, the 2006 revised ISO 11137 Sterilization of Healthcare Products now includes guidance on modeling for radiation processing facilities.
