The acceptance tests of five electron linear accelerators have been analyzed to compare their completeness, the standards specified by the manufacturers and the measured deviations. Involved tests were relative to geometrical and mechanical parameters, photon and electron beam characteristics, dose monitoring systems, treatment table and safety systems. The comparison of acceptance tests has shown a significant nonuniformity, also due to the absence of a specific legislation; anyway, the measured deviations generally appeared to be within internationally recommended values.
