Eine Genehmigung für die Beschäftigung in fremden Anlagen oder Einrichtungen mit Exposition durch ionisierende Strahlung erhalten

If you want to work in facilities with exposure to ionising radiation or employ other people there, you must apply for a permit.

Radiation protection is about protecting people and the environment from the effects of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation from natural and artificial sources.

If you are a company or sole trader working in a plant or facility or employing people where exposure to ionising radiation may result in an effective dose of more than 1 millisievert in a calendar year, you must apply for a permit. In this case, the persons are considered occupationally exposed persons.

For activities in connection with the operation of third-party X-ray equipment and interfering radiation sources, you can choose between a permit (according to § 25 StrlSchG) and a notification (according to § 26 StrlSchG). This permit is usually valid nationwide.

The licence applies to you if you have a company that, for example, carries out repair or maintenance work in nuclear power plants or a cleaning company that operates in a nuclear medicine facility.

For the permit, you need at least one radiation protection officer who has the required expertise in radiation protection. As a rule, a radiation passport is required for you or for each employee who is to be deployed; exceptions are possible with the approval of the authorities if the persons are only deployed in a third-party plant or facility. The radiation protection officer arranges for medical monitoring of the occupationally exposed persons (Section 77 StrlSchV) .

The approval is limited to a maximum of five years.
