This guideline outlines the process, requirements, and responsibilities for freeing materials from radiological control, focusing on fixed geometries like drums or pallets. Drawing from SERAW's experience during the decommissioning of Kozloduy NPP Units 1 to 4, it offers practical insights to prevent radioactive material spread and reduce decontamination costs. Aimed at organisations conducting measurements and assessments for free release, it assists in developing processes compliant with national and international regulations based on the IAEA Safety Series No. 89 principles. While not a formal, high-level guidance, it provides specific tips and recommendations for European operators.
