### sec.82 Prescribed radiation practice— Act , s 13
For section 13 (3) of the Act , definition prescribed radiation practice , the following radiation practices are prescribed—
industrial radiography involving the use of an ionising radiation source;
borehole or well logging involving the use of a sealed source apparatus;
density gauging, or moisture gauging, for geotechnical purposes, involving the use of a sealed source apparatus;
the preparation of a radioactive substance or radiation apparatus, or assembly of a sealed source apparatus, for use in carrying out a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure involving the irradiation of a person;
the commissioning, maintenance or repair of a radiation source or sealed source apparatus;
the compliance testing of a radiation source by a relevant accredited person for a radiation source of that type, involving the use of the source or another radiation source;
the compliance testing of premises by a relevant accredited person for premises of that type, involving the use of a radiation source;
the undertaking of quality control procedures, in relation to—
a radiation source, involving the use of another radiation source; or
a sealed source apparatus, involving the use of a radiation source.
In this section—
compliance testing , of a radiation source or premises, means assessing whether the source or premises comply with the relevant radiation safety standard.
relevant accredited person , for a type of radiation source or premises, means an accredited person who, under the person’s accreditation certificate, is allowed to issue a certificate of compliance for the type of radiation source or premises.
