Last updated date: Reason for update:
01 September 2022 Now specifies all codes & standards applicable to each source type; Corrected administrative errors in G1- 25, G2-14 & G2-15; Items G3-8(a), (e) & (f) now appear as items G3-4(b), (c) & (d); Items G1-26(c), (d) & (j) now appear as items G1-27(a), (b) & (c); Item G1-25(f) becomes subset of G1-25(e); Item G1-26(i) removed as it is exempt under s44(7)(p) of the Regulations; Items G1-8(a), G2-7(a) & G3(a) added for radioactive waste in storage awaiting disposal.

The following abbreviations are used in the table below:

NOTE 1 re periodic self-assessment: ARPANSA strongly encourages licence holders be proactive in their approach to compliance; this includes conducting periodic self-assessments against applicable codes & standards.  

NOTE 2 re international best practice:  In addition to the codes and standards listed below, ARPANSA considers international best practice when making licensing decisions. This includes international standards and guidance that may apply to ionising radiation sources and non-ionising radiation sources. 

NOTE 3 re calibration of monitoring instruments: Although Australian Standard AS/NZS2243.4 requires annual calibration of radiation monitoring instruments, if an instrument is used solely to detect the presence or absence of radioactive contamination, and from which no quantitative information (such as air concentration or surface contamination) is derived, then the frequency of calibration may be extended to a maximum of 5 years.
