Exemption from Regulatory Control of Goods Containing Small Amounts of Radioactive Material

This publication examines some of the issues that need to be considered in relation to authorization and exemption from regulatory control, focusing in particular on consumer products and other goods containing small amounts of radioactive material. All aspects of their life cycle following manufacture, including transport, storage, supply use and disposal, are considered. The publication aims to generate discussion on how the concepts of authorization and exemption should be applied with a view to developing an internationally accepted, harmonized approach.
