Ariz. Admin. Code § R9-7-1136 - Permanent Radiographic Installations
A. If a registrant maintains a permanent
radiographic installation that does not fall within the definition of "enclosed
radiography" in
R9-7-102, the registrant shall
ensure that each entrance used for personnel access to the high radiation area
has either:
1. An entrance control device of
the type described in
R9-7-420(A)(1),
which reduces the radiation level upon entry into the area, or
2. Both conspicuous visible and audible alarm
signals to warn of the presence of radiation. The registrant shall ensure that
the visible signal is actuated by radiation if the x-ray tube is energized and
the audible signal is actuated if a person attempts to enter the installation
while the x-ray tube is energized.
B. A registrant shall test the alarm system
for proper operation with a radiation source each day before the installation
is used for radiographic operations. The test shall include a check of both the
visible and audible signals. The registrant shall test each device referenced
in subsection (A)(1) monthly. If an entrance control device or alarm signal is
operating improperly, the registrant shall immediately label the device or
signal as "defective" and repair the device or signal within seven calendar
days. The registrant may continue to use the facility during this seven-day
period, if the registrant implements continuous surveillance requirements of
R9-7-1116 and uses an alarm rate meter.
C. A registrant shall maintain each record of
alarm system and entrance control device tests for three years after the record
is made.
