Background
The Radiation Safety Act 2016 (the Act) is administered by the Ministry of Health –Manatū Hauora (the Ministry).
Section 86(1) of the Act allows the Director for Radiation Safety (the Director) to issue codes of practice. This is for the purpose of specifying technical requirements.
The Code of Practice for Industrial Radiography: ORS C7 (C7) was first issued by the Director on 7 June 2019. Section 90(a) of the Act requires the Director to review a code of practice at least once every five years.
Section 89(2) of the Act requires that the Director consult with any person who the Director reasonably considers is likely to be affected by a proposed amendment or revocation to a code of practice.
The Director has produced a revised C7 for public consultation to meet the Directors’ duties under section 89(2) of the Act. This document sets out the revised C7.
Next steps
Once the work to complete the analysis of public submissions is re-commissioned and finished, the Ministry intends to fully consider all submissions before providing a revised ORS C7 for further consultation.
