Requirements for quality assurance from the directive REI Mining and other regulations

Many requirements for the quality assurance of the licensee and the independent measuring centre can be derived from the Directive for the “Surveillance of emission and immission of mining work” (REI Mining). However, these should be viewed within the context of “Instructions of measurement related to the surveillance of radioactivity in the environment and to the registration of radioactive emissions from nuclear installations” (MA). Further, it would be advisable to compare the REI Mining requirements to both the Directive for the “Surveillance of emission and immission from nuclear installations” (REI) as well as to the “General administration order to the integrated measuring and information system of the precautionary Radiation Protection Act” (AVV-IMIS). In this article, the various requirements are compared, their common and different aspects are discussed, and possible conclusions for the licensee, the independent measuring centre and the authority of supervision and licencing are presented.
