Get an RPA Report for Your Project
Ensure your project meets IRR17 compliance from the start.
To better support customers undertaking radiation-related projects, Raybloc can help connect you with a trusted, independent Radiation Protection Adviser.
Raybloc does not carry out RPA assessments directly. All RPA advice, shielding calculations and formal reports are completed independently by qualified professionals. Our role is to help make the process simpler by passing your project details to a suitable RPA and supporting the next steps where required.

What You Need to Know Before Starting a Radiation Project
Do You Need a Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA)?
Raybloc can help put you in contact with an independent RPA if your project involves:
Under the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17), you are required to consult an RPA if your project involves:
- X-ray equipment (medical, dental, veterinary)
- CT scanners or advanced imaging systems
- Industrial radiography or NDT applications
- Radioactive materials or sealed sources
- Installation or modification of radiation-generating equipment
If your project includes any of the above, an RPA report is required for compliance.
What Does an RPA Report Include?
An independent RPA provides formal advice to ensure your project is safe, compliant, and correctly specified:
- Radiation shielding calculations
- Controlled and supervised area designation
- Radiation risk assessments
- Prior examination of new installations
- Compliance with IRR17 requirements
- Advice on exposure limits and safety measures
This ensures your design is compliant from the outset, avoiding costly changes later.
When Should You Get an RPA Report?
- During early design and planning
- Before installing X-ray or CT equipment
- When modifying an existing facility
- Before applying for regulatory approval
The earlier you involve an RPA, the smoother your project will run.
Why This Matters
Without proper RPA input:
- Projects can be delayed due to non-compliance
- Shielding may be incorrectly specified
- Additional costs can arise from redesign
- Regulatory approval may be refused
Getting this right early avoids unnecessary delays and costs
