Section 4465-H-3.0 - Intent

RGDs are a broad class of equipment that generate x-rays or particle radiation having energies between 5 keV and 1 MeV, and not intended for medical use on humans. If applicable, all RGDs shall comply with FDA performance standards as defined in Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations, parts 1010 thru 1050. Examples of RGDs include, but are not limited to: open and closed analytical x-ray equipment (table top and hand-held), x-ray gauges, cabinet x-ray radiography, security screening units, quality control application devices, ion implantation devices, electron beam welders, non-human use x-ray fluoroscopy, and x-ray irradiators. The intent here is not to define safety parameters by what type of work the x-ray unit performs (analytical, gauge, radiography, etc.), but to classify by hazard (open-beam versus closed-beam) or dose rate. All other non-enclosed beam industrial radiography shall be regulated under Part E of these Regulations (Radiation Safety Requirements for Industrial Radiographic Operations).
