A person must ensure that any irradiating apparatus or radioactive material is only sold or supplied to —

a person who is authorised to possess that irradiating apparatus or radioactive material, as the case may be; or

a person who has applied for a licence to possess that irradiating apparatus or radioactive material (as the case may be) prior to receipt of the irradiating apparatus or radioactive material.

Where any irradiating apparatus or radioactive material (as the case may be) was sold or supplied to a person under paragraph (1)(b), the seller or supplier must make reasonable efforts to ensure that the person subsequently obtains a licence authorising the possession of that irradiating apparatus or radioactive material after receipt of the irradiating apparatus or radioactive material.

Where the seller or supplier has reasonable grounds to believe that the licence mentioned in paragraph (2) is not obtained by the recipient, the seller or supplier must promptly notify the Director‑General.

Paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) do not apply to the export of irradiating apparatus or radioactive materials from Singapore.

Any person who sells or supplies irradiating apparatus or radioactive materials must —

ensure that any irradiating apparatus or radioactive material that is sold or supplied has been tested by a laboratory mentioned in paragraph (6) to demonstrate compliance with the relevant specifications of the irradiating apparatus or radioactive material;

keep a record of all sales and supplies of irradiating apparatus and radioactive materials (as the case may be) in any form and manner that may be determined by the Director‑General; and

make the records available for inspection when required by the Director‑General.

For the purposes of paragraph (5)(a), the test must be performed by —

an in‑house testing laboratory operated by the manufacturer of the irradiating apparatus or radioactive material, as the case may be; or (b)a testing laboratory accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council or an equivalent accreditation body as being able to perform the relevant test.

In paragraph (6), “Singapore Accreditation Council” means the national authority for accreditation of conformity assessment bodies in Singapore.
