The cabinet-specific corrective-action rule
OAC 3701:1-68-06(D)(2) states that if an interlock, control, indicator, or warning signal fails, it must be immediately labeled as defective and repaired or replaced within seven calendar days.
The broader operating rule also matters
OAC 3701:1-68-02(A)(7) requires the facility's written radiation protection program to ban operation of non-medical radiation-generating equipment when applicable Chapter 3701:1-68 requirements are not met.
RayReg interpretation: the seven-day repair language is a corrective-action deadline, not a blanket seven-day operating allowance.
What a facility should do
- Immediately label and document the failed component.
- Evaluate whether operation remains compliant with all applicable requirements.
- Follow the facility's radiation protection program and lockout controls as applicable.
- Repair or replace the failed component within the required period.
- Document corrective action and any related survey or evaluation.
The exact operating decision can depend on which component failed and the full regulatory context.
