### sec.85 Exemption from requirement for use licence— Act , s 210 For section 210 of the Act , the following radiation sources are exempt from section 13 of the Act — the sealed radioactive substance incorporated in a sealed source apparatus, if the apparatus is used for chemical analysis or industrial gauging; a sealed radioactive substance, having an activity of not more than 370MBq, used for— calibration checks of measuring instruments; or a quality control procedure undertaken for— another radiation source or a sealed source apparatus; or if another radiation source is used to carry out a radiation practice involving the production of images—any ancillary imaging equipment used in connection with the use of the other source to carry out the practice; a sealed radioactive substance, having an activity of not more than 4MBq, used for transferring anatomical landmarks to images produced using a gamma camera; a radioactive substance, having an activity of not more than 500kBq, used for an in vitro test; a sealed radioactive substance used for static elimination. For section 210 of the Act , the following radiation sources are exempt from section 13 of the Act , other than to the extent the radiation source is used by a person who is carrying out the commissioning, maintenance or repair of the source— a cabinet radiation apparatus used for its intended use; an enclosed analytical apparatus used for its intended use; an enclosed radiation apparatus used for its intended use; a laser apparatus designed only for puncturing a person’s skin to obtain capillary blood samples; the sealed radioactive substance incorporated in a sealed source apparatus, if the apparatus is used for irradiation for sterilisation, disinfestation or similar purposes; a radiation apparatus used for irradiation for sterilisation, disinfestation or similar purposes; a radiation apparatus used for industrial gauging. In this section— enclosed analytical apparatus means an ionising radiation apparatus, used for chemical analysis, in which— the radiation source, the sample for analysis and the equipment irradiated in the analytical process are enclosed in a chamber, or coupled chambers, designed to prevent any person being exposed to the primary X-ray beam of the apparatus during normal operation of the apparatus; and access to the primary X-ray beam in the chamber, or coupled chambers, of the apparatus is prevented by an interlock. interlock , for an enclosed analytical apparatus, means a device or mechanism that— prevents the primary X-ray beam of the apparatus from entering the chamber, or coupled chambers, of the apparatus unless the device or mechanism is engaged; and if disengaged, causes the primary X-ray beam of the apparatus to immediately stop entering the chamber, or coupled chambers, of the apparatus; and if re-engaged after being disengaged, prevents the automatic resumption of irradiation by the apparatus. (sec.85-ssec.1) For section 210 of the Act , the following radiation sources are exempt from section 13 of the Act — the sealed radioactive substance incorporated in a sealed source apparatus, if the apparatus is used for chemical analysis or industrial gauging; a sealed radioactive substance, having an activity of not more than 370MBq, used for— calibration checks of measuring instruments; or a quality control procedure undertaken for— another radiation source or a sealed source apparatus; or if another radiation source is used to carry out a radiation practice involving the production of images—any ancillary imaging equipment used in connection with the use of the other source to carry out the practice; a sealed radioactive substance, having an activity of not more than 4MBq, used for transferring anatomical landmarks to images produced using a gamma camera; a radioactive substance, having an activity of not more than 500kBq, used for an in vitro test; a sealed radioactive substance used for static elimination. (sec.85-ssec.2) For section 210 of the Act , the following radiation sources are exempt from section 13 of the Act , other than to the extent the radiation source is used by a person who is carrying out the commissioning, maintenance or repair of the source— a cabinet radiation apparatus used for its intended use; an enclosed analytical apparatus used for its intended use; an enclosed radiation apparatus used for its intended use; a laser apparatus designed only for puncturing a person’s skin to obtain capillary blood samples; the sealed radioactive substance incorporated in a sealed source apparatus, if the apparatus is used for irradiation for sterilisation, disinfestation or similar purposes; a radiation apparatus used for irradiation for sterilisation, disinfestation or similar purposes; a radiation apparatus used for industrial gauging. (sec.85-ssec.3) In this section— enclosed analytical apparatus means an ionising radiation apparatus, used for chemical analysis, in which— the radiation source, the sample for analysis and the equipment irradiated in the analytical process are enclosed in a chamber, or coupled chambers, designed to prevent any person being exposed to the primary X-ray beam of the apparatus during normal operation of the apparatus; and access to the primary X-ray beam in the chamber, or coupled chambers, of the apparatus is prevented by an interlock. interlock , for an enclosed analytical apparatus, means a device or mechanism that— prevents the primary X-ray beam of the apparatus from entering the chamber, or coupled chambers, of the apparatus unless the device or mechanism is engaged; and if disengaged, causes the primary X-ray beam of the apparatus to immediately stop entering the chamber, or coupled chambers, of the apparatus; and if re-engaged after being disengaged, prevents the automatic resumption of irradiation by the apparatus. - (a) the sealed radioactive substance incorporated in a sealed source apparatus, if the apparatus is used for chemical analysis or industrial gauging; - (b) a sealed radioactive substance, having an activity of not more than 370MBq, used for— (i) calibration checks of measuring instruments; or (ii) a quality control procedure undertaken for— (A) another radiation source or a sealed source apparatus; or (B) if another radiation source is used to carry out a radiation practice involving the production of images—any ancillary imaging equipment used in connection with the use of the other source to carry out the practice; - (i) calibration checks of measuring instruments; or - (ii) a quality control procedure undertaken for— (A) another radiation source or a sealed source apparatus; or (B) if another radiation source is used to carry out a radiation practice involving the production of images—any ancillary imaging equipment used in connection with the use of the other source to carry out the practice; - (A) another radiation source or a sealed source apparatus; or - (B) if another radiation source is used to carry out a radiation practice involving the production of images—any ancillary imaging equipment used in connection with the use of the other source to carry out the practice;
