Anzeige des Betriebs einer Röntgeneinrichtung oder der wesentlichen Änderung des Betriebs Entgegennahme

§ Section 19 (1) and (5) of the Radiation Protection Act (StrlSchG)

With the written notification of a technical X-ray device to the competent authority, you announce that you intend to operate or significantly modify such a device. This may include X-ray equipment that is to be used as a basic, high or full protection device.

• Proof of expertise in radiation protection according to StrlSchV with proof of updating
• Certificate and test report from the expert on the radiation protection test
• Type approval certificate with unit test confirmation (if applicable) (type approval for the device in general; unit test confirmation for the specific device)
• CE certificate of conformity (if applicable)
• Personnel deployment, i.e. proof of knowledge of radiation protection and updates of this knowledge for personnel working on the X-ray equipment

A technical X-ray facility in accordance with Section 19 (1) StrlSchG may be operated if it is notified to the competent authority at least four weeks before commissioning and the inspection by the authority does not reveal any grounds for refusal.

The same applies to a significant change in the operation of a technical X-ray facility in accordance with § 19 Para. 5 StrlSchG.

You submit the notification form with the required evidence to the competent authority at least four weeks before the planned commissioning or significant change to the operation.

Upon receipt of the complete notification and the required evidence, the competent authority must review it within four weeks.

After this four-week period has expired, you may operate the X-ray equipment or make significant changes to the operation unless the authority refuses operation and/or suspends the notification procedure because the examination shows that further testing procedures are required.

If this does not take place, you can also start operating the X-ray equipment or making significant changes to the operation if the authority informs you in writing before the deadline that all the necessary evidence has been provided.

You will receive the notification of fees with the notification confirmation.
