X-ray diagnostics in medicine, non-destructive testing in industry or particle accelerators in research – the use of ionising radiation demands the highest precision, comprehensive expertise and strict compliance with statutory requirements. The legal framework for this is provided by the Radiation Protection Act (StrlSchG) and the Radiation Protection Ordinance (StrlSchV). These regulations specify when licensing or notification is required, which acceptance tests and expert inspections must be carried out, and how the protection of staff, patients, the public and the environment is to be ensured.
As an independent expert organisation with decades of experience and proficiency in radiation protection, TÜV NORD supports operators and users at every stage – from planning and operation through to decommissioning of facilities, both nationwide and internationally.
Our team combines expertise from medicine, industry and research to develop tailored, practical and legally sound solutions for every application. In this way, we ensure maximum protection for staff, patients, the public and the environment.
