The objective of this guideline is to provide a simple and standardize method to determine patient dose by implementing the entrance surface exposure....
Radioactive waste generated through the use of radioactive substances in industry, research and medicine (non-nuclear applications) is subject to regulatory control in terms of the Hazardous Substances Act, 1973 (Act 15 of 1973)....
The use of unsealed radioactive sources is subject to regulatory control in terms of the Hazardous Substances Act 15 of 1973, as amended.

This guideline provides information concerning the safe transport of radioactive material not related to the nuclear fuel cycle. It is not intended to be comprehensive but aims to summarise and supplement the IAEA transport regulations....
The hazardous nature of radioactive sources requires regulatory control and identification to support cradle-to-grave tracking of the sources. Thus, to ensure the regulatory control of the radioactive sources and source containers, strict regulatory requirements are outlined on this document which requires the radioactive sources and...

This guideline deals with the safe and secure handling of industrial radiography projectors. The RPO and ARPO of the Authority Holders are also guided in the administrative and legal requirements they are subjected to....
These standards have been set to limit the risk of over-exposure of workers, as well as the public, to ionizing radiation, and to ensure that radiation doses are kept as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA principle)....
The widespread use of radiation sources in medicine, agriculture, industry, and research has an admirable safety record. Throughout the world, the number of known accidents in which persons have been exposed to harmful amounts of ionising radiation is relatively small, and only a few deaths...
