Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about IRR17 compliance audits and how HTSL can help organisations review and strengthen their radiation protection arrangements.

What is an IRR17 compliance audit?

An IRR17 compliance audit is a structured review of an organisation’s radiation protection arrangements against the applicable requirements of the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017. HTSL reviews both documented arrangements and how they are implemented in practice, identifying areas of good practice and potential gaps requiring attention.

What does an IRR17 compliance audit cover?

The scope is tailored to your activities and may include radiation risk assessments, Local Rules, RPA and RPS arrangements, designation of areas, training and competence, personal dosimetry, radiation monitoring, equipment testing and maintenance, contingency arrangements and record keeping.

How often should we carry out an IRR17 compliance audit?

There is no single audit frequency appropriate to every organisation. The frequency should reflect the nature and complexity of your radiation work, associated risks and any changes to equipment, processes or personnel. Periodic audits are a useful way of demonstrating that arrangements remain effective.

What happens if the audit identifies compliance gaps?

HTSL provides clear findings and practical recommendations to help you prioritise any actions required. Our radiation protection team can also provide further support to help address identified gaps and strengthen your arrangements.

Can HTSL audit us if you are already our RPA?

Yes. An audit can form part of an ongoing RPA relationship or be commissioned as a standalone review. The scope can be agreed around your organisation, activities and existing radiation protection arrangements.
