Scenario 2:

A scanner maker applies.

Scenario 3:

An XRF vendor checks requirements.

Process & Planning

To use the NOC and type approval chain, suppliers first register on eLORA and, where they have a test facility, obtain RSO approval. They apply for an NOC to import a prototype if needed, import and test it, and then apply for Equipment Type Approval, Type Registration or NOC with technical data, shielding and radiation safety information. Users later choose approved models in eLORA. Planning checklist: keep technical files organised, plan prototype testing time, confirm the safety code applicable to your equipment category and track any updates to the NOC process.
