A method for operating a device (1) for sterilising containers (10), wherein the containers (10) are transported along a predetermined transport path (P) by means of a transport device (2) and during said transportation at least one wall of the containers (10) is irradiated with radiation, in particular charge carrier radiation, by means of at least one first radiation device (4), and wherein a sensor device (6) is also provided which detects charge carrier radiation and/or radiation caused by the charge carriers and which is arranged such that the radiation incident on the sensor device (6) fluctuates due to the movement of the containers (10) along the transport path (P), and this sensor device (6) detects at least one characteristic radiation variation, wherein at least one first limit value (G1) is defined and a comparison between this limit value (G1) and the radiation variation is performed. According to the invention, the limit value (G1) has a value that changes over time. |
