|
|
|
|
Registration is required of all x-ray equipment, non-exempt radioactive substances and prescribed electronic products (i.e. high powered lasers and transilluminators). The premises where the equipment, substances and/or products are manufactured, used, stored or otherwise dealt with must also be registered. |
|
|
|
|
|
Registrations are issued for specific purposes in two primary classes- |
|
|
|
radioactive substances; and |
|
|
x-ray equipment and/or electronic products |
|
|
|
|
Application for Registration forms (including fee schedule) relating to Radioactive Substances (PDF) and X-ray Equipment and/or Electronic Products (PDF) are available here or follow the link containing all available forms. For all applications an original signature is required, due to this faxed and electronic submissions cannot be accepted. |
|
|
Registration renewals are sent out annually or triennially (i.e. the first week of the preceding month) with the fee payable depending upon the quantity of radioactive substances or the number of x-ray devices and/or electronic products. Payments can be accepted as cash, cheque or money order. Purchase orders are not currently acceptable as invoices are not issued. |
