Feedback on codes, standards and guidelines

The EPA has also developed additional codes to provide further clarity for and maintain consistency in the implementation of the regulatory requirements. 

In line with the principle of national uniformity, the regulations call up the codes and standards listed in Schedule 3 of the National Directory for Radiation Protection. Where there are gaps in national standards, the EPA prepared the following new codes: 

1. Borehole logging – Apparatus  
2. Dental – Apparatus
3. Facility design – Diagnostic
4. Medical radiation therapy – Apparatus  
5. Labelling and signage – Apparatus  
6. Radiation management plans 

One of the new codes covers the preparation of radiation management plans. This is an important area in which radiation management licence-holders can take responsibility and demonstrate a strong safety culture. 

The EPA support the production of guidance documents by professional bodies wishing to support their members in the discharge of their responsibilities regarding radiation safety.
