According to the Act Establishing the BfS, the Federal Office for Radiation Protection is an independent higher federal authority. The pivotal tasks of the BfS in the area of protection of man and environment against the detrimental effects of ionising and non-ionising radiation are laid down in the Establishing Act, the Radiation Protection Act and the Radiation Protection Ordinance.

Within the framework defined by the Federal Environment Ministry, the BfS decides independently on staffing actions. Dcisions pertaining to the organisational and operational structure as well as the staffing of executive positions are subject to approval by the Federal Environment Ministry.

BfS file plan

Administrative action must be traceable and verifiable at any given time. This can only be ensured by maintaining written documentation that reflects the status and the progress of processes at all times.

The BfS file plan serves as the basis for the organised filing of documents and records. The file plan shows all file plan numbers used at the BfS.

The BfS's file plan is available in PDF format and can be downloaded here (in German).
