REGULATION OF THE NUCLEAR ENERGY REGULATORY AGENCY OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA NUMBER 4 OF 2020 ON RADIATION SAFETY IN THE USE OF X-RAY EQUIPMENT IN DIAGNOSTIC AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY
Regulation of the Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency (BAPETEN) of the Republic of Indonesia Number 4 of 2020 on Radiation Safety in the Use of X-Ray Equipment in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology establishes the safety requirements that licensees must comply with when using X-ray equipment in diagnostic and interventional radiology. It replaces Regulation of the Chairman of BAPETEN Number 8 of 2011 and aims to protect workers, patients, members of the public, and the environment from excessive radiation exposure. The regulation covers general radiography, fluoroscopy, mammography, CT-scan, and dental X-ray equipment used in diagnostic and/or interventional radiology, while excluding X-ray equipment used in support of radiotherapy and nuclear medicine. It sets out four main areas: management requirements, radiation protection requirements, technical requirements, and safety verification. Management requirements include responsible parties, safety culture, health surveillance, personnel, education and training, and records and reports. Radiation protection requirements cover the principles of justification, dose limitation, and optimization; protection against occupational exposure through controlled and supervised areas, safety procedures, dose constraints, workplace radiation monitoring, individual dose monitoring, and special considerations for pregnant or potentially pregnant female workers; and protection against medical exposure through justification, optimization, diagnostic reference levels, and dose constraints for patient companions. Technical requirements address X-ray room design, radiation shielding, warning signs, room size, and general and specific features of X-ray equipment, including digital dose display and DICOM connectivity. Safety verification includes workplace radiation monitoring, identification of potential exposure scenarios, and quality control of X-ray equipment through internal and external mechanisms, including conformity testing. The regulation also includes annexes providing technical specifications for radiation protective equipment, safety procedures, operational considerations, warning symbols, and specific equipment features. It was promulgated on 20 October 2020 and came into force on that date.
