Technical Electronic Product Radiation Safety Standards Committee

About the Committee

This advisory committee was established in accordance with the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This committee advises FDA regarding proposed performance standards for electronic products which emit radiation. Mandatory performance standards currently exist for television receivers, cold-cathode gas discharge tubes, diagnostic x-ray systems and their major components, radiographic equipment, fluoroscopic equipment, computed tomography equipment, cabinet x-ray systems, microwave ovens, laser products, sunlamp products and ultraviolet lamps intended for use in sunlamp products, high-intensity mercury vapor discharge lamps, and ultrasonic therapy products.

These standards are in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Food and Drugs 21 Part 1020 – Performance Standards for Ionizing Radiation Emitting Products, 1030 – Performance Standards for Microwave and Radio Frequency Emitting Products, 1040 -Performance Standards for Light-Emitting Products, and 1050 - Performance Standards for Sonic, Infrasonic, and Ultrasonic Radiation-Emitting Products.
