Devices shall be designed, manufactured and packaged in such a way that exposure of users or other persons to radiation (intended, unintended, stray or scattered) is reduced as far as possible and in a manner that is compatible with the intended purpose, whilst not restricting the application of appropriate specified levels for diagnostic purposes.
Déanfar feistí a dhearadh, a mhonarú agus a phacáistiú sa chaoi is go laghdófar a oiread is féidir an méid a nochtar úsáideoirí nó daoine eile d'aon radaíocht (beartaithe, neamhbheartaithe, ar seachrán nó scaipthe), agus ar bhealach a bheidh comhréireach leis an gcríoch a beartaíodh dóibh, ach ní chuirfear srian ar leibhéil shonraithe iomchuí radaíochta a chur i bhfeidhm chun críoch diagnóiseach.
