SAMIRA study on criteria for acceptability of medical radiological equipment (CARE). Survey results on European Union national legislations/regulations

The results of this survey indicate that RP 162 is still in total or partial use in almost three-quarters of EU countries, despite the significant time elapsed since publication. An updated RP 162 will ensure that the criteria reflect the latest technological capabilities and regulatory requirements, maintaining high standards of safety and effectiveness in medical radiological practices and possibly improving the homogeneity in suspension levels throughout the EU.
