(a) the capsules must –

(i) meet the requirements of ISO Standard 2919:1999, as expressed in table 4 of that ISO Standard; or

(ii) be otherwise designed and constructed so that the radioactive material remains enclosed within the capsule so as to prevent escape of the radioactive material during normal use and in the event of an accident;

(b) the design of the capsules must have current unilateral approval as special form radioactive material as required by paragraph 803 of the International Regulations.

(3)  For the purposes of section 17(1)(a)(ii) of the Act, the following are prescribed specifications relating to a container for a sealed source used for industrial radiography, other than a sealed source used for an X-ray crawler control source:

(a) the container must comply with the Code of practice for the safe use of industrial radiography equipment (1989) published by the NHMRC under the National Health and Medical Research Council Act 1992 of the Commonwealth, as in force immediately before its rescission by the NHMRC;

(b) the container must –

(i) have current unilateral approval as a Type B(U) package as required by paragraph 806 of the International Regulations; or

(ii) be able to resist fire and unauthorised entry; and

(iii) be kept locked, except if the radioactive material is being put into storage or removed from storage; and

(iv) have a clear sign, in accordance with AS 1319:1994 , on the outside of the place incorporating the word "caution" and a symbol warning of the radiation hazard contained in the place; and

(v) have sufficient shielding to protect persons from radiation exposure from the radiation source stored or used in the radiation place; and

(vi) not be situated near to explosives, combustible or corrosive materials, photographic or X-ray film, areas that are subject to flooding, or other natural or man-made hazards; and

(vii) if unsealed radioactive materials are stored or used at the place, comply with the design requirements of AS/NZS 2982.1:1997 ; and

(viii) if the radioactive materials stored or used at the place are to be used for industrial radiography, comply with the Code of practice for the safe use of industrial radiography equipment (1989) published by the NHMRC under the National Health and Medical Research Council Act 1992 of the Commonwealth, as in force immediately before its rescission by the NHMRC;

(b) a place where any radiation apparatus is usually or primarily used must –

(i) have a clear sign, in accordance with AS 1319:1994 , on the outside of the place incorporating the word "caution" and a symbol warning of the radiation hazard contained in the place; and

(ii) have sufficient shielding to protect persons from radiation exposure when the apparatus is in use; and

(iii) if the radiation apparatus is to be used for industrial radiography, comply with the Code of practice for the safe use of industrial radiography equipment (1989) published by the NHMRC under the National Health and Medical Research Council Act 1992 of the Commonwealth, as in force immediately before its rescission by the NHMRC.
