Exempted Articles or Irradiating Apparatus for Import, Export, Possession, Use or Sale of or other Dealing
THIRD SCHEDULERegulation 3(7)Exempted Articles or Irradiating Apparatus for Import, Export, Possession, Use or Sale of or other Dealing1.Any timepiece, instrument, or device containing self‑luminous elements, except during the manufacture or repair of the self‑luminous elements themselves and provided that the timepiece, instrument or device contains no more than —
35 kBq of radium‑226, 105 kBq of americium‑241, 70 MBq of promethium‑147 or 3.5 GBq of tritium, where the luminescent substance is substantially insoluble in water and is in the form of glass, vitreous enamel or similar substance or in the form of a paint or film which adheres to the timepiece, instrument or device during normal use; or
70 GBq of tritium or 9 GBq of krypton‑85 in the form of radioactive gas.2.Subject to paragraph 3, the following electrical equipment, provided that they do not in normal operating conditions cause an ambient dose equivalent rate or a directional dose equivalent rate, as appropriate, exceeding 1 µSv per hour at a distance of 0.1 m from any accessible surface of the equipment, or the maximum energy of the radiation generated is no greater than 5 keV:
electron microscopes;
any electrical equipment which is not primarily intended to produce ionising radiation (such as transmitting valves, rectifying valves, image converters and cathode ray tubes used for projection purposes or closed‑circuit applications).3.The testing, in the course of production, of the equipment specified in paragraph 2 is not exempted from the Act.
