CHAPTER III
SYSTEM OF RADIATION PROTECTION
Article 5
General principles of radiation protection
Member States shall establish legal requirements and an appropriate regime of regulatory control which, for all exposure situations, reflect a system of radiation protection based on the principles of justification, optimisation and dose limitation:
Justification: Decisions introducing a practice shall be justified in the sense that such decisions shall be taken with the intent to ensure that the individual or societal benefit resulting from the practice outweighs the health detriment that it may cause. Decisions introducing or altering an exposure pathway for existing and emergency exposure situations shall be justified in the sense that they should do more good than harm.
Optimisation: Radiation protection of individuals subject to public or occupational exposure shall be optimised with the aim of keeping the magnitude of individual doses, the likelihood of exposure and the number of individuals exposed as low as reasonably achievable taking into account the current state of technical knowledge and economic and societal factors. The optimisation of the protection of individuals subject to medical exposure shall apply to the magnitude of individual doses and be consistent with the medical purpose of the exposure, as described in Article 56. This principle shall be applied not only in terms of effective dose but also, where appropriate, in terms of equivalent doses, as a precautionary measure to allow for uncertainties as to health detriment below the threshold for tissue reactions.
Dose limitation: In planned exposure situations, the sum of doses to an individual shall not exceed the dose limits laid down for occupational exposure or public exposure. Dose limits shall not apply to medical exposures.
SECTION 1
Tools for optimisation
Article 6
Dose constraints for occupational, public, and medical exposure
Member States shall ensure that, where appropriate, dose constraints are established for the purpose of prospective optimisation of protection:
for occupational exposure, the dose constraint shall be established as an operational tool for optimisation by the undertaking under the general supervision of the competent authority. In the case of outside workers the dose constraint shall be established in cooperation between the employer and the undertaking.
for public exposure, the dose constraint shall be set for the individual dose that members of the public receive from the planned operation of a specified radiation source. The competent authority shall ensure that the constraints are consistent with the dose limit for the sum of doses to the same individual from all authorised practices.
for medical exposure, dose constraints shall apply only with regard to the protection of carers and comforters and volunteers participating in medical or biomedical research.
Article 7
Reference levels
SECTION 2

In addition to the dose limit referred to in paragraph 2, the following limits on the equivalent dose shall apply:
the limit on the equivalent dose for the lens of the eye shall be 15 mSv in a year;
the limit on the equivalent dose for the skin shall be 50 mSv in a year, averaged over any 1 cm2 area of skin, regardless of the area exposed.
Article 13
Estimation of the effective and equivalent dose
For the estimation of effective and equivalent doses, the appropriate standard values and relationships shall be used. For external radiation, the operational quantities defined in section 2.3 of ICRP Publication 116 shall be used.

Addressees
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
ANNEX I
Reference levels for public exposure as referred to in Articles 7 and 101
1. Without prejudice to reference levels set for equivalent doses, reference levels expressed in effective doses shall be set in the range of 1 to 20 mSv per year for existing exposure situations and 20 to 100 mSv (acute or annual) for emergency exposure situations.
2. In specific situations, a reference level below ranges referred to in point 1 may be considered, in particular:
a reference level below 20 mSv may be set in an emergency exposure situation where appropriate protection can be provided without causing a disproportionate detriment from the corresponding countermeasures or an excessive cost;
a reference level below 1 mSv per year may be set, where appropriate, in an existing exposure situation for specific source-related exposures or pathways of exposure.
3. For the transition from an emergency exposure situation to an existing exposure situation, appropriate reference levels shall be set, in particular upon the termination of long-term countermeasures such as relocation.
4. The reference levels set shall take account of the features of prevailing situations as well as societal criteria, which may include the following:
for exposures below or equal to 1 mSv per year, general information on the level of exposure, without specific consideration of individual exposures;
in the range up to or equal to 20 mSv per year, specific information to enable individuals to manage their own exposure, if possible;
in the range up to or equal to 100 mSv per year, assessment of individual doses and specific information on radiation risks and on available actions to reduce exposures.

ANNEX IV
Justification of new classes or types of practices involving consumer products as referred to in Article 20
A. Any undertaking intending to manufacture or import into a Member State consumer products for which the intended use is likely to lead to a new class or type of practice, shall provide the competent authority of this Member State with all relevant information, as to the:
intended use of the product;
technical characteristics of the product;
in the case of products containing radioactive substances, information as to their means of fixation;
dose rates at relevant distances for the use of the product, including dose rates at a distance of 0,1 m from any accessible surface;
expected doses to regular users of the product.
B. The competent authority shall examine that information and in particular assess whether:
the performance of the consumer product justifies its intended use;
the design is adequate in order to minimise exposures in normal use and the likelihood and consequences of misuse or accidental exposures, or whether there should be conditions imposed on the technical and physical characteristics of the product;
the product is adequately designed to meet the exemption criteria, and, where applicable, is of an approved type and does not necessitate specific precautions for disposal when no longer in use;
the product is appropriately labelled and suitable documentation is provided to the consumer with instructions for proper use and disposal.

ANNEX VII
Exemption and clearance criteria as referred to in Articles 24, 26 and 30
1. Exemption
Practices may be exempted from notification either directly, on the basis of compliance with exemption levels (activity values (in Bq) or activity concentration values (in kBq kg-1)) laid down in section 2, or on the basis of higher values that, for specific applications, are established by the competent authority, satisfying the general exemption and clearance criteria set out in section 3. Practices subject to notification may be exempted from authorisation by law or general administrative act, or through an ad-hoc regulatory decision, on the basis of the information provided in conjunction with the notification of the practice and in line with general exemption criteria set out in section 3.
2. Exemption and clearance levels
(a) The total activity values (in Bq) for exemption apply to the total activity involved in a practice and are laid down in column 3 of Table B for artificial radionuclides and for some naturally-occurring radionuclides used in consumer products. For other practices involving naturally-occurring radionuclides, such values are, in general, not applicable.
(b) The exempt activity concentration values (in kBq kg-1) for the materials involved in the practice are laid down in Table A, Part 1, for artificial radionuclides, and in Table A, Part 2, for naturally-occurring radionuclides. The values in Table A, Part 1, are given for individual radionuclides, where applicable, including short-lived radionuclides in equilibrium with the parent nuclide, as indicated. The values in Table A, Part 2, apply to all radionuclides in the decay chain of U-238 or Th-232, but for segments of the decay chain, which are not in equilibrium with the parent radionuclide, higher values may be applied.
(c) The concentration values in Table A, Part 1, or in Table A, Part 2, also apply to the clearance of solid materials for reuse, recycling, conventional disposal or incineration. Higher values may be defined for specific materials or specific pathways, taking Community guidance into account, including, where appropriate, additional requirements, in terms of surface activity or monitoring requirements.
(d) For mixtures of artificial radionuclides, the weighted sum of nuclide-specific activities or concentrations (for various radionuclides contained in the same matrix) divided by the corresponding exemption value shall be less than unity. Where appropriate, this condition can be verified on the basis of best estimates of the composition of the radionuclide mix. The values in Table A, Part 2, apply individually to each parent nuclide. Some elements in the decay chain, e.g. Po-210 or Pb-210, may warrant the use of higher values taking Community guidance into account.
(e) The values in Table A, Part 2, may not be used to exempt the incorporation into building materials of residues from industries processing naturally-occurring radioactive material. For this purpose, compliance with the provisions of Article 75 shall be verified. The values laid down in Table B, column 3, apply to the total inventory of radioactive substances held by a person or undertaking as part of a specific practice at any point in time. However, the competent authority may apply these values to smaller entities or packages, for instance to exempt the transport or storage of exempted consumer products, if the general exemption criteria in section 3 are satisfied.
3. General exemption and clearance criteria
(a) The general criteria for the exemption of practices from notification or authorisation or for the clearance of materials from authorised practices are as follows:
the radiological risks to individuals caused by the practice are sufficiently low, as to be of no regulatory concern; and
the type of practice has been determined to be justified; and
the practice is inherently safe.
(b) Practices involving small amounts of radioactive substances or low activity concentrations, comparable to the exemption values laid down in Table A or Table B are deemed to fulfil criterion (iii).
(c) Practices involving amounts of radioactive substances or activity concentrations below the exemption values laid down in Table A, Part 1, or Table B, are deemed to comply with criterion (i) without further consideration. This is also the case for the values in Table A, Part 2, with the exception of the recycling of residues in building materials or the case of specific exposure pathways, for instance, drinking water.
(d) In the case of moderate amounts of material, as specified by Member States for specific types of practice, the activity concentration values laid down in Table B, column 2, may be used instead of the values laid down in Table A, Part 1, for the purpose of exemption from authorisation.
(e) For the purpose of exemption from notification or for the purpose of clearance, where amounts of radioactive substances or activity concentrations do not comply with the values laid down in Table A or Table B, an assessment shall be made in the light of the general criteria (i) to (iii) above. For compliance with the general criterion (i), it shall be demonstrated that workers should not be classified as exposed workers, and the following criteria for the exposure of members of the public are met in all feasible circumstances:
For the purpose of exemption from authorisation, less restrictive dose criteria may be applied.

Parent radionuclides, and their progeny whose dose contributions are taken into account in the dose calculation (thus requiring only the exemption level of the parent radionuclide to be considered), are listed in the following table.
|
For radionuclides not listed in Table A, Part 1 the competent authority shall assign appropriate values for the quantities and concentrations of activity per unit mass where the need arises. Values thus assigned shall be complementary to those in Table A, Part 1.
TABLE A PART 2
Naturally occurring radionuclides
Values for exemption or clearance for naturally occurring radionuclides in solid materials in secular equilibrium with their progeny:
Natural radionuclides from the U-238 series |
1 kBq kg-1 |
Natural radionuclides from the Th-232 series |
1 kBq kg-1 |
K-40 |
10 kBq kg-1 |
TABLE B
Total activity values for exemption (column 3) and exemption values for the activity concentration in moderate amounts of any type of material (column 2)
