If you’re planning to operate a density gauge in Zimbabwe, here are the steps you need to follow:
- Import Permit:
To import a density gauge, complete an application form from the Radiation Protection Authority of Zimbabwe (RPAZ). Attach the following documents, which you can obtain from the supplier:
– Source certificates
– Leak test certificates
– Return to supplier agreement letter
A fee is required to process the import permit.
- Registration & Authorization:
After importing the gauge, it must be registered and authorised for use in Zimbabwe. This will only be done after a verification inspection. You’ll need to:
– Complete a registration form
– Apply for personnel monitoring devices (Dosimeters) for operators to track radiation exposure levels.
- Radiation Protection Program:
Submit a Radiation Protection Program, outlining how radiation safety will be maintained during the use, transportation, and storage of the gauge.
- Radiation Safety Officer:
Provide a radiation safety training certificate for the individual nominated as the Radiation Safety Officer for the gauge.
Note: While RPAZ does not offer competence training, we can direct you to relevant institutions outside Zimbabwe where training is provided.
