Leveraging years of experience in the R&D and industrial application of irradiation processing technology, CGN Huarui Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "CGN Huarui"), a subsidiary of CGN Nuclear Technology Application Co., Ltd., participated as a lead drafting organization in the development of five national standards: "Irradiation Processing of Agricultural Products – Part 1: Legumes and Legume Products," "Part 2: Cereals and Cereal Products," "Part 3: Dried Fruits," "Part 8: Cooked Meat Products," and "Part 9: Chilled Meat." These standards specify the dose control ranges, operational procedures, and quality and safety requirements for the irradiation of various agricultural products, thereby providing an authoritative technical basis for sterilization, disinfestation, and preservation of agricultural products and their deeply processed derivatives.

As a leading enterprise in the field of irradiation applications, CGN Huarui operates five major centers and twenty irradiation facilities across China, equipped with a total of sixty-two electron accelerators. The company provides nationwide irradiation-based preservation and sterilization services for agricultural products, food, and healthcare products, as well as irradiation modification services for materials used in sectors such as wire and cable manufacturing and semiconductors.

By leveraging its nationwide service network, deep understanding of national standards, and proprietary technical strengths, CGN Huarui offers customers localized, efficient, and compliant irradiation processing services. The company also provides comprehensive irradiation solutions—spanning process design, dose validation, and compliance testing—that help customers enhance product competitiveness while reducing logistics costs and time losses.
