Draft IAEA Safety Guide for Comment: DS458 – Radiation Protection and Regulatory Control for Consumer Products 

The IAEA has requested comment on a draft safety guide DS458 – Radiation Protection and Regulatory Control for Consumer Products. The object of the document is to provide recommendations for the application of the requirements relating to the system of regulatory control for consumer products laid down in Radiation Protection and Safety of Radiation Sources: International Basic Safety Standards – Interim Edition (IAEA Safety Standards Series No. GSR Part 3 (Interim)).

If you would like to comment on the draft safety guide, could I ask that you send that comment to secretariat@arpansa.gov.au by:

CoB Wednesday 10 April 2013 

so that we can forward a consolidated Australian response to the IAEA by the due date.

The draft safety guide and document preparation profile can be found on the ARPANSA web site at http://www.arpansa.gov.au/Publications/international/memberstate.cfm.

Also, could regulators on this list please advise any potential stakeholders within your jurisdiction of the request for comment.
