How to Apply

Applying for a licence

Before you acquire any irradiating apparatus or radioactive materials, you must obtain a licence from the RPII.

A licence application pack can be obtained by contacting the administration staff of the Regulatory Service of the RPII. This will include details of application and licence fees.

The application and licence fees are set out in S.I. No. 654 of 2007 and based upon criteria determined by the RPII.

License Category	Application Fee (non-refundable)	License Fee (per annum)
Licence L	€533	€299
Licence M	€851	€950
Licence H	€740	€1525

When applying for a licence, you will be required to address issues such as

• The justification of the proposed practice
• The appointment of a Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) 
• The completion of a radiation risk assessment and a Radiation Safety Procedures document.

The RPII may ask you to supply additional information at any stage during the licensing process.

You must apply for a licence at least one month before the proposed acquisition of any irradiating apparatus or radioactive substance – though it is advisable to apply as early as possible.

A licence will be issued once the RPII is satisfied with your application.
