Radiography remains one of the most effective non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for assessing the integrity of metallic and non-metallic materials. But recent legislation has changed how and where it can be applied.
Following the Royal Decree of 17 February 2023 (published 3 April 2023), the use of radiography directly on-site is becoming increasingly restricted. As of April 2025, smaller components (those under 500 kg and 1 m³) must be examined in a dedicated facility.
That is why TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium has invested in a fully compliant industrial radiography bunker. With dimensions of 19m by 6m, equipped with a 3.2-tonne overhead crane and forklift support, the bunker is specifically designed for safe and efficient radiographic inspections. Radiation sources are fully contained during exposure, ensuring strict compliance with FANC guidelines and Belgian regulatory requirements.
By offering this facility, we provide industry with a secure, practical and legally conform solution for radiographic inspection at a time when on-site options are no longer permissible. Want to learn more? Explore our supporting materials or contact us to schedule your inspection.
