<p>The Basic Safety Standards for protection against dangers arising from exposure
to ionising radiation Directive (2013/59/EURATOM), or the BSSD as it is known, updates
96/29/Euratom, and covers occupational, public, and medical exposures to ionising
radiation, with several government departments and regulators responsible for updating
regulations to ensure effective transposition.</p><p> </p><p>The Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) implemented the occupational exposure aspects of the BSSD and brought
in the required new standards in the Ionising Radiation Regulations 2017 (IRR17).
The Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2019 (REPPIR),
which address public exposures, have been updated and are due to come into force on
22 May 2019. HSE and the Office for Nuclear Regulation have enforcement responsibility.
The amended medical requirements have been implemented by the Ionising Radiation (Medical
Exposure) Regulations 2017 (as amended) and are enforced by the relevant enforcing
authority in England, Scotland and Wales.</p>
