Radiation Import / Export Authorisation
Authorisation by SHENA is required to import and export radioactive material and/or controlled apparatus in Brunei Darussalam. This is done by submission of the authorisation form (signed by RPO/licensee) to SHENA along with the required supporting documents. SHENA will email the approved authorisation form to the Licensee, who then submit the approved authorisation form through Brunei Darussalam National Single Window (BDNSW) for permit endorsement.

It is advisable for end users to apply for the required licence amendments with SHENA in advance of importing the new X-ray apparatus. This practice ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and helps to prevent any unforeseen cost during the import process with the RCED.
