You will need to comply with this code if you are the holder of a facility or source licence and you intend to deal with controlled facilities, controlled apparatus or controlled materials that emit ionized or non-ionized radiation. A facility, apparatus or material is controlled if it requires strict operational procedures for safety and use in order to minimise harm from radiation or radioactive waste.
This code applies to the transport of radioactive material by road, rail, and waterways. It is intended to establish uniform requirements for the transport of radioactive material in Australia.
