FORM 2—NOTICE TO PURCHASER OF APPARATUS (regulation 51, Radiation Protection and Control (Ionising Radiation) Regulations 2000)
To the purchaser of an apparatus (X‑ray apparatus):
This notice, which the person or organisation from whom you are buying an X‑ray apparatus is obliged by law to give to you, is intended to inform you of certain legal obligations you will face as the owner of an X‑ray apparatus. Failure to take note of these obligations could result in a great deal of unnecessary expense and inconvenience.
1. Basic obligations under the Radiation Protection and Control Act 1982 (the Act)
The Act requires you to:
• have an appropriate licence to cover all activities associated with the use of all your radiation sources, including X‑ray apparatus (section 33A of the Act1);
• register your apparatus (section 32 of the Act2);
• ensure that all persons who will operate the apparatus hold a licence issued to do so (section 31 of the Act).
2. Application to register an X‑ray apparatus
An application to register an X‑ray apparatus must be submitted to the Minister before installation commences. If you:
• do not already have an appropriate licence to cover all activities associated with the x‑ray apparatus you are wanting to register, in most cases, a ‘licence to possess a radiation source’, you must apply for one at the same time;
• if you already have an appropriate licence, then you must update your radiation management system accordingly and include, as appropriate, either your ‘Licence to possess’, ‘Licence to test for developmental purposes’, ‘Licence to carry out mining or mineral processing’, or ‘Facilities licence’ number on your application to ‘Register an ionising radiation apparatus’ form.
3. Application forms and associated information and advice
You can download a copy of all relevant registration and licence application forms, along with information which will help you comply with your registration and licence obligations, from the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) website at You will also be able to access information on the website on such things as the fees to be paid, and answers to commonly asked questions about registration and licensing processes and associated arrangements.
You can get information and advice on what to do to ensure compliance with the Act and associated regulations by contacting the EPA. Telephone the EPA on (08) 8204 2000 or email [email protected]. If you have any difficulties in complying with what is required, contact the EPA as soon as possible.
1Section 33A of the Act requires those in possession of a registrable radiation source to have a ‘Licence to possess’ it. The Radiation Protection and Control (Ionising Radiation) Regulations 2000 exempt owners from having such a licence if the apparatus is authorised under either section 23A (‘Licence to test for developmental purposes’), 24 (‘Licence to carry out mining or mineral processing’) or 29A (‘Facilities licence’) of the Act.
2The Radiation Protection and Control (Ionising Radiation) Regulations 2000 exempt a limited range of apparatus from being registered. For further information, go to
