RADIATION PROTECTION AND CONTROL (IONISING RADIATION) REGULATIONS 2015 (NO 203 OF 2015) - REG 65

65—Construction of cabinet X-ray unit

        (1)         A cabinet X-ray unit must be constructed so that it conforms with the requirements of the Statement on cabinet X-ray equipment for examination of letters, packages, baggage, freight and other articles for security, quality control and other purposes approved by the National Health and Medical Research Council in 1987 as modified in accordance with this regulation.

        (2)         Paragraph 5.1 of Section 5 "Access" of the Statement is to be modified as follows:

"Where a door is provided for insertion of items to be examined, it must have a minimum of 2 safety interlocks, which must be arranged so that any 1 of them will disconnect the supply of the high voltage transformer when the door is opened."

        (3)         Section 8 "X-ray indicator lights" is modified by inserting the following sentence immediately after the third sentence:

"Alternatively, only 1 indicator light may be used, provided that:

            (a)         it is readily visible from all doors, ports and access panels; and

            (b)         the failure of this single indicator light results in the failure of the unit to produce X-rays."

        (4)         The Statement must be read as if Section 9 "Warning Sign" is deleted.
