The Radiation Health Committee (RHC), established under the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Act 1998 has the role of advising the CEO and the Radiation Health & Safety Advisory Council on matters relating to radiation protection, including formulating draft national policies, codes and standards for consideration by the Commonwealth, States and Territories.

The RHC is seeking views on a new standard aimed at establishing a consistent approach to equipment compliance testing across States and Territories. The consultation is open until 31 January 2022 and is available on the ARPANSA website (https://www.arpansa.gov.au/radiation-health-committee-compliance-testing-standard). The RHC would be grateful if you could pass this on to your members for their awareness.

Please do not hesitate to contact the RHC Secretariat at rhc@arpansa.gov.au if you require further information.
