The interval

OAC 3701:1-68-06(D) requires cabinet systems to be evaluated and the results recorded every three months, not to exceed fourteen weeks.

The evaluator must be qualified according to the cabinet-system training and competency provision in OAC 3701:1-68-02(H).

What the evaluation verifies

  • Proper functioning of each required interlock.
  • Proper functioning of controls, indicators, and warning signals.
  • Required labels are legible and properly affixed.

Lockout exception

The recurring evaluation requirement has a specific exception while the system is locked out, tagged DO NOT USE, and under the administrative control of the Individual Responsible for Radiation Protection (IRRP).

A practical facility program should use a compliance calendar that prevents the documented interval from drifting beyond fourteen weeks.
