EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2000 (“the Principal Regulations”) which implement in part, as respects Great Britain, Council Directive 97/43/Euratom (OJ No L180, 9.7.97, p 22) laying down basic measures for the health protection of individuals against dangers of ionising radiation in relation to medical exposure. The Principal Regulations impose duties on those responsible for administering ionising radiation to protect persons undergoing medical exposure whether as part of their own medical diagnosis or treatment or as part of occupational health surveillance, health screening, voluntary participation in research or medico-legal procedures and these Regulations clarify an aspect of this.
Regulation 2 makes it explicit that individual health assessments of asymptomatic individuals fall within the ambit of regulation 3 (application) of the Principal Regulations.
