IAEA SAFETY STANDARDS
Under the terms of Article III of its Statute, the IAEA is authorized to establish
or adopt standards of safety for protection of health and minimization of danger to life
and property, and to provide for the application of these standards.
The publications by means of which the IAEA establishes standards are issued in
the IAEA Safety Standards Series. This series covers nuclear safety, radiation safety,
transport safety and waste safety, and also general safety (. all these areas of safety).
The publication categories in the series are Safety Fundamentals, Safety Requirements
and Safety Guides.
Safety standards are coded according to their coverage: nuclear safety (NS),
radiation safety (RS), transport safety (TS), waste safety (WS) and general safety (GS).
Information on the IAEA’s safety standards programme is available at the IAEA
site
/standards/
The site provides the texts in English of published and draft safety standards. The
texts of safety standards issued in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish, the
IAEA Safety Glossary and a status report for safety standards under development are
also available. For further information, please contact the IAEA at . Box 100,
A-1400 Vienna, Austria.
All users of IAEA safety standards are invited to inform the IAEA of experience
