Graphs 3A and 3B show the number of facilities using electrical devices generating ionising radiation in the listed applications under the licensing or notification system respectively. They illustrate the diversity of these applications and their development over the last five years. This development is closely related to the regulatory changes which have gradually created a new licensing or notification system concerning the use of these devices. At present, measures to bring the professionals concerned into compliance are very widely engaged in many activity sectors.
