Type approvals for equipment and devices in which radioactive substances are inserted and for installations generating ionizing radiation (according to the German Radiation Protection Ordinance – StrlSchV)

The type approval procedure for equipment and devices in which radioactive substances are inserted and for installations generating ionizing radiation is regulated by §§ 45 to 48 of the Radiation Protection Act together with §§ 16, 17, 24, 25 and 26 Annex V of the Radiation Protection Ordinance – StrlSchV.

According to § 185 (1) 4 of the the Radiation Protection Act the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) is the competent authority for granting these type approvals. Regarding devices in which radioactive substances are inserted BfS consults the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) for an assessment of the tightness, material selection and the design of the components as well as for an evaluation of quality assurance aspects.

The application documents for type approvals at the BfS are adapted to the new procedure and will soon be available.

In the following list you will find the type approvals granted by the BfS according to the German Radiation Protection Ordinance – StrlSchV valid until the end of 2018.
