Do you want to work as a medical physics expert or in the technical field of radiation protection (e.g. operating X-ray equipment or systems for generating ionising radiation or handling radioactive substances)? If so, you must prove that you have acquired the necessary expertise from the competent authority for radiation protection.
If you intend to work as a medical physics expert, operate X-ray equipment or equipment for generating ionising radiation or handle radioactive substances, you will need a certificate of competence from the competent authority for radiation protection as proof of the specialist knowledge you have acquired. The employer can also submit the application for a certificate of specialised knowledge in radiation protection for their employees.
If you have all the necessary evidence, you can apply to the competent authority for radiation protection for yourself or for your employee to obtain a certificate of qualification in radiation protection.
