Report employment in connection with the operation of a third-party X-ray facility or a third-party interference source.

If you employ people who work in a third-party facility with X-ray equipment or stray radiation sources, you must report this in writing. This applies to you if you work in third-party systems yourself.

Detailed description

The employment of employees in a third-party facility with X-ray equipment or interference sources without the required display is prohibited. This also applies to you if you work in third-party systems yourself.


The obligation to notify does not apply if you already have a license under Section 25 StrlSchG or if it can be ruled out that the people working in the external company will each receive a higher effective dose than 1 mSv in a calendar year.
