The registrant of the x-ray machine must complete and return to the Bureau a “Radiation Producing Machine Registration Form” within 30 days of installation. Complete the form then email or mail it to the Bureau. The Bureau will generate and mail an invoice for the application fee and pro-rated annual fee after processing your registration request.

A registrant must have a radiation safety survey performed for each x-ray installation. The survey must be performed by an individual with appropriate qualifications for the type of the equipment registered.

Whenever an registrant sells, relocates, stores or disposes of an x-ray unit, the registrant is required to notify the Bureau in writing within 30 days of such sale, storage, relocation or disposal using the disposition form. Registrants are responsible for all fees until the Bureau receives written notification. Specific instructions for each action are listed below:

To properly dispose of an x-ray unit, contact your local x-ray assembler to assist in these matters. To view a list of Commercial X-ray Assemblers click here. These companies have indicated to the Department that they perform one or more of the following services: sell, repair, purchase and dispose of x-ray units.

Any planned x-ray installation for period not to exceed 60 days is eligible for temporary registration. Temporary registrations are exempt from the annual registration fee; however, a $40.00 application fee is still required. To obtain a temporary registration follow the instructions below.
