Ionising Radiation

Ionising radiation: changes to registration and consent processes

HSE is changing part of its regulatory approach to regulating under the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17). 

These changes are a result of recommendations made by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

From 1 October 2023, employers will need to submit more information when applying for registration or consent for work with ionising radiation.

Also, instead of a fixed fee for consent applications, a fee will be charged to recover HSE’s costs.
