Part 08 - RADIATION CONTROL - RADIATION SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR RADIATION GENERATING DEVICES NOT USED IN THE HEALING ARTS
Section 6 CCR 1007-1-8.1 - Purpose and Scope

A. Rules and regulations set forth herein are adopted pursuant to the provisions of sections 25-1-108, 25-1.5-101(1)(l), and 25-11-104, CRS.

B. A statement of basis and purpose accompanies this part and changes to this part. A copy may be obtained from the Department.

A. This part provides special requirements for non-healing-arts radiation generating devices (RGDs) operating between 5 kiloelectron volts (keV) and 1 million electron volts (MeV). For machines operating at energies greater than 1 MeV, see Part 9.

B. The following machines and equipment are exempt from these regulations:

C. In addition to the requirements of this Part, all registrants are subject to the requirements of Parts 1, 2, 4, 10 and 13 of these regulations. This Part does not pertain to radiation safety requirements for x-ray equipment that is explicitly covered in other sections of these regulations, such as Part 5 (Radiation safety requirements for industrial radiographic operations), Part 6 (X-ray imaging in the healing arts), and Part 9 (Radiation safety requirements for particle accelerators not used in the healing arts).

D. Radiography that meets the definition of "cabinet radiography" as defined in 8.2 shall be regulated under this Part. This includes certified x-ray systems.

E. Radiography (excluding industrial radiography) that occurs in a shielded room as defined in 8.2 shall be regulated under this Part.

F. Industrial radiography that is open-beam, and not in a shielded room and not otherwise listed in this section, shall be regulated under Part 5 of these regulations.

A. The requirements and provisions of these regulations apply to applicants, and registrants within the scope of by Part 8 unless specifically exempted by Part 8.

B. The applicable special requirements of Part 5 also apply if an image receptor is used to transform incident x-ray photons either into a visible image or into another form that can be made into a visible image by further transformation.

C. The requirements of Part 8 are in addition to, and not in substitution for, applicable requirements in other parts of these regulations.

A. Open and closed analytical x-ray equipment (table top and hand-held);

B. X-ray gauges;

C. Cabinet x-ray radiography;

D. Security screening units;

E. Quality or process control devices;

F. Ion implantation devices;

G. Electron beam welders; and

H. Non-human use x-ray fluoroscopy.

A. Throughout this Part 8, federal regulations, state regulations, and standards or guidelines of outside organizations have been adopted and incorporated by reference. Unless a prior version of the incorporated material is otherwise specifically indicated, the materials incorporated by reference cited herein include only those versions that were in effect as of the most recent effective date of this Part 8 (August 2021), and not later amendments or editions of the incorporated material.
