Protection against non-ionizing radiation - Inspection of equipment - Notification as inspection body
Service Description
The competent authority must monitor compliance with the regulations when operating facilities for the application of non-ionizing radiation to humans outside of medicine, also called commercial application (e.g. solariums).
As part of this monitoring, the competent authority may also order that a facility be inspected by a body that can perform necessary measurements. If you wish to offer testing of solar systems and comparable systems for the application of non-ionizing radiation to humans, this requires notification of your facility as a testing body.
Process flow
The notification as an inspection body is made upon written or electronic application to the competent body. The notification is valid for the entire federal territory.
The decision on the application is made by the competent body of the country in which the applicant has his place of business. The application shall be granted if the applicant has the required expertise, independence, reliability and technical equipment.
It may be subject to revocation, a time limit, conditions, requirements and the reservation of conditions.
