Ionising Radiation

The Approved Code of Practice entitled, “The Protection of Persons Against Ionising Radiations” was approved by Commerce and Employment on the 20th July, 1995.
The Code is intended to cover the uses of sealed and unsealed sources of radiation and x-ray equipment, whether that is in the medical profession or industry.  Included are uses such as luggage x-ray equipment at harbours and airports, and density meters used in construction.

Important issues included in the code are dose limitations, assessment of risk, contingency planning and emergency procedures.

Anyone intending to import an ionising radiation source or x-ray equipment and intends to take it into use for the first time, must notify the Commerce and Employment Department in writing at least 28 days prior to doing so.
