(a) Irradiation must not be possible until a selection of radiation types, either X rays or electrons, has been made at the treatment control panel; and

(b) The radiation type selected must be displayed at the treatment control panel before and during irradiation.

2. In equipment capable of generating radiation beams of different energies:

(a) Irradiation must not be possible until a selection of energy has been made at the treatment control panel; and

(b) The energy and type of irradiation selected, either X rays or electrons, must be displayed at the treatment control panel before and during irradiation.

3. In equipment capable of both stationary-beam therapy and moving-beam therapy:

(a) Irradiation must not be possible until a selection of stationary-beam therapy or moving-beam therapy has been made at the treatment control panel;
