Diagnostic X-ray Compliance Testing   Under Section 36 of the Act it is an offence for a person in possession of a prescribed radiation source to require, direct, allow or permit a person to use a prescribed radiation source unless there is a certificate of compliance in respect of that source that has not expired. The maximum penalty for a body corporate for this offence is in excess of $716,000. The certificate of compliance expiry date prescribed by the Regulations for: •  Plain Film Radiographic X-ray equipment is 2 years after the issue of the certificate. •  Fluoroscopic X-ray equipment is 2 years after the issue of the certificate. •  Computed Tomography scanners is 12 months after the issue of the certificate. A certificate of compliance can only be issued by a person approved by the Secretary. These persons are called 'Approved Testers'. All compliance testers at ComplyRad are Approved Testers. The Victorian Radiation Act 2005 (Act) has the objective of protecting the health and safety of persons and the environment from the harmful effects of radiation. The Department of Health (Department) administers this legislation. The Act seeks to fulfil this objective by establishing a licensing framework to regulate the conduct of radiation practices and the use of radiation sources. Part 5 of the Act prescribes testing requirements for prescribed radiation sources in accordance with a set of safety standards.
