Abstract
 A coordinated research project (CRP) on the surface contamination of packages was conducted by the IAEA in 2000-2003, in which detailed study was carried out to determine whether the current requirements for surface contamination of packages remain adequate. Deliberations to revise the regulatory limits on the surface contamination were followed. This paper presents the results of this study and final outcomes of the work done in the course of many meetings spread over 10 years.
