Radiation protection in X-ray installations

Thematic focus of this working group are type approval of X-ray tube assemblies, X-ray ma-chines and stray radiation sources according to the German Radiation Protection Act. Ac-cording to this law, the PTB is the only institution in Germany, which performs these type ap-provals. Type approved devices and X-ray tube assemblies can easier be placed on the mar-ket, because no individual authorisations are needed.

Cooperation with industry and authorities is possible in the field of radiation protection.

  On the website of the Bundesanzeiger (Federal Gazette) you can inform yourself about the approvals/supplements. You will get good search results if you enter the following keywords in the search: Bauartzulassung and GZ. With these keywords you will at least get those which have been published by PTB so far.
