Draft Code for Radiation Protection in Dental Exposure

Overview

ARPANSA develops Australian-specific standards, codes and guides. We may consult with members of the public by inviting submissions to new or existing documents.

We are updating the Code of Practice and Safety Guide for Radiation Protection in Dentistry (2005).

The new document will be called the Code of Practice for Radiation Protection in Dentistry.

A draft copy is available here: Public Consultation Draft Dental Code.PDF (arpansa.gov.au) 

Purpose

The code establishes the Australian requirements for the protection of people that receive dental radiation exposure.
