Without prejudice to Council Directive 96/29/Euratom of 13 May 1996 laying down basic safety standards for the protection of the health of workers and the general public against the dangers arising from ionizing radiation (3) and of Directive 2006/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (4), at this stage, to safeguard citizens’ health and safety, only security scanners which do not use ionising radiation are added to the list of allowed methods for passenger screening for aviat ...[+++]ion security purposes.

the strengthened legislative and regulatory infrastructure will be obtained through expert advice, establishment/upgrading of the national regulatory infrastructure for radiation safety and security of radioactive material through the provision of IAEA appraisal services e.g. the Integrated Regulatory Review Service, other advisory services as well as equipment and training.

to strengthen the national regulatory infrastructure for radiation safety and security of radioactive materials,

The regulatory infrastructure for radiation safety and security of radioactive sources must be effective and must function adequately in accordance with the international standards, the guidelines of the Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources and the associated import/export guidance, and the best practices.
