UK radiation free certification



I was recently asked to test some confectionary for export to the United
Kingdom.  The customer needs a "radiation free certificate".  Does anyone
know what detection limits are appropriate for this
certification...1Bq/Kg...1mBq/Kg?  

I am planning a gross alpha/beta by gas proportional counting and gamma
spectroscopy. 

Is there any specific wording or regulation that should be cited in this
"certification". Any information or references to this subject would be
appreciated. Is this an EEC regulation/requirement?

Answers that might interest RADSAFE should be posted as such, otherwise
personal replies are encouraged.
