VKTA – Laboratory for Environmental and Radionuclide Analyses

Radionuclide testing - Safety analytics as a basis for decision-making.

The Amezcua Chi Pendant 4 was tested for safety in VKTA, an underground laboratory located in Dresden,
Germany using the measuring methods of γ(gamma)-spectrometry.

Gamma spectrometry is the science of identification and quantification of radionuclides by analysis of the
gamma-ray spectrum produced in a gamma-ray spectrometer. testing consists of high-energy photons
and penetrates matter. It does not need the elimination of the matrix.

The assessment of the analytical results of the testing of Amezcua Chi Pendant 4 fulfils the requirement
by ISO and EU standard. It can thus be used without restrictions.

2 Assessment according to ISO 13356


The assessment of the analytical results is based on the standard ISO 13356:2015, Chapter 3, Table 1. The
radioactivity of the material is defined there as the sum of the specific activities of the radionuclides 238U,
226
Ra and 232Th and should be equal or less than 200 Bq/kg.

The investigated material “Amezcua Chi Pendant 4” fulfills the requirement of ISO 13356, as shown in
the following table.

3 Assessment according to EU297/2011


The ar�ficial radionuclides 131I, 134Cs und 137Cs are evaluated according to the:
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 of 25 March 2011 imposing special
conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following
the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station
This strongly conserva�ve basis for evalua�on was chosen although the inves�gated material here is no
food. Furthermore, the no�ceably stricter test values for baby foods were applied here. Under these
condi�ons the assessment is extremely conserva�ve.

The inves�gated material “Amezcua Chi Pendant 4” fulfills the requirements of EU 297/2011, as shown
in the following table. It can thus be used without restric�ons.
