• MD 2.7: radiation protection testing of medical X-ray workplaces (rooms)
• MD 2.8: radiation protection testing of high activity gamma teletherapy workplaces and equipment
• MD 2.9: radiation protection testing of linear accelerator workplaces
• MD 2.11: radiation protection testing of isotope laboratories
• MD 2.12: conformance test of diagnostic radiology and X-ray surface therapy active medical devices

Non accredited tests:

• Patient dosimetry examinations (TLD, DAP and CTDI measurements in frame of from 1989 flowing National Patient Dose Assessment Program, to establish national reference levels)
• Measurement of X-ray tube focal spot sizes by means of RTI Real-Time Focusmeter
• Examination and qualification of radiation protection devices
• Examination of acessories (cassette, intensifying screen, scatter grid)

Ongoing research tasks
