RADIATION SAFETY REGULATION 2021 - REG 6

6 Non-ionising radiation apparatus—Act, sch 2, definition radiation apparatus

(1) For schedule 2 of the Act , definition
"radiation apparatus" , paragraphs (c) and (d) , the following apparatus are prescribed—

(a) a laser;

(b) a relevant solarium.

(2) For schedule 2 of the Act , definition
"radiation apparatus" , paragraphs (c) and (d) , the following amounts are prescribed—

(a) for a laser—the accessible emission limit for a class 1 laser for the period stated in, and measured in accordance with, the laser standard;

(b) for a relevant solarium—an erythemally effective dose of 100 joules per square metre per hour.

(3) In this section—

"CIE document" means the standard called ‘ISO/CIE 17166:2019—Erythema reference action spectrum and standard erythema dose’, published by the International Organization for Standardization and prepared by the International Commission on Illumination.

"erythemally effective dose" means the dose obtained by weighting the spectral distribution of electromagnetic radiation incident on the measured area with the erythemal effectiveness stated in the CIE document across the electromagnetic radiation wavelength range of 280nm to 400nm and then integrating to obtain the total dose in joules per square metre in accordance with the CIE document.
