4.11 Consent/Approval
4.11.1 Type Approval of Sources, Equipment, Devices, Packages and Approval of
Shipment
4.11.1.1 Review Process
In general, a two-tier review process is followed by AERB before issuance
of Type Approval for sealed sources or equipment. Two-tier review includes
safety review and assessment by the Radiological Safety Division of AERB
followed by review in the safety review committee for application of radiation
(SARCAR). For high energy particle accelerators used for research and
industrial processing applications, sealed source to be approved as special
form and package design, three-tier review is followed, which includes safety
review and assessment by the Radiological Safety Division of AERB followed
by review in the safety committee for medical, industrial and research
accelerators (SCMIRA) or committee for safe transport of radioactive material
(COSTRAM) and further followed by the review in the apex committee i.e.
safety review committee for application of radiation (SARCAR). For approval
of shipment of radioactive consignment one-tier review is followed by AERB.
The review includes reasons for application of shipment and safety assessment
of the shipment done by the Radiological Safety Division of AERB.
The AERB will examine or scrutinise the test procedures submitted along
with the application for type approval of the items and approval of shipment
defined in subsection 2.8.1 and review the test results to ensure safety in the
operations.
