a IQI may be located on film side only, if positioning on source side is not possible

Tables A.1 and A.2 show the minimum image quality values for metallic materials. If the image quality is
disturbed by mottling effects the image quality values may be determined in accordance with
EN ISO 19232-4 by agreement between the contracting parties.
In the case where Ir 192 or Se 75 sources are used, IQI values worse than the ones listed in Tables A.1 to
A.2 may be accepted as shown in Table A.3.
