New License Conditions Regarding Maintenance in Dental Radiography

The RPII issued a circular in June 2011, noting that annual maintenance of Dental Radiography Equipment is no longer mandatory. The new requirement is that "the licensed items shall be maintained in good working condition and any defects in its performance or in its safe use shall be corrected as soon possible by a suitably qualified and competent person". All irradiating apparatus continues to be subject to a biennial quality assurance assessment undertaken by the appointed RPA.
