What this Notification, registration certificate or licence for activities with ionizing radiation sources (VVD Radiation Safety Centre) check is screening
Separates product, supplier, import, facility, source-holder, and operator radiation obligations. Applies to the facility, operator, or installation rather than only the product.
Source association reviewed. The source association has been reviewed. This does not verify every rule, date or product-specific conclusion; read the cited provisions and their limits.

Darbību ar jonizējošā starojuma avotiem paziņošanas, reģistrēšanas un licencēšanas noteikumi, Cabinet Regulation No. 65 of 28.01.2021, in force 01.02.2021, is made under Article 5(12), Article 11(4) and (7), Article 12(2) and Article 13 of the law 'Par radiācijas drošību un kodoldrošību'. It splits activities with ionizing radiation sources into notifiable, registrable and licensable activities and requires the operator to hold whichever instrument its activity falls under. § 13.3 names the competent body verbatim as 'Valsts vides dienesta Radiācijas drošības centrs (turpmāk – centrs)'. § 62 requires the state fee to be paid before the application is submitted, by bank transfer or through the payment module in the State Environmental Service information system, and § 63 fixes the amounts: EUR 97 for a registration certificate, EUR 170 for a licence, EUR 54 for changes to a registration certificate, EUR 84 for amendments to a licence and EUR 10 for the changes listed in § 64. A medical device that produces ionizing radiation (an X-ray unit, a CT scanner, an accelerator) is in scope at the site where it is used, in addition to the MDR route and the device's own CE marking.
How to read the answer
Classification is only the first layer
A device may have one medical risk class and still trigger separate radio, electrical, measurement, radiation, environmental, import, or installation requirements. The checker keeps each regulatory object separate.
Dossier or import evidence
Testing can belong inside the medical dossier, while some documents apply to each shipment.
Site or operator licence
Radiation, installation, use, or measurement controls may apply to a facility or operator.
Country-specific scope
Other Latvia routes to check
Electrical safety
Low Voltage Directive exclusion for medical electrical equipment — electrical safety carried inside MDR conformity assessment
Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.
Source association awaiting review
EMC
EMC Directive disapplied where MDR fixes the same essential requirements
Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.
Source association awaiting review
Wireless / radio
Radio-equipment essential requirements, conformity assessment and market surveillance (Cabinet Regulation No. 215)
Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.
Source association reviewed
Metrology

About this checker
A preliminary tool, not a regulatory determination
Describe the complete product — radio, power, measurement, radiation, battery, materials, accessories, intended use, import route, and existing approvals. The free checker maps those facts to the maintained Latvia scheme matrix and links each route to its maintained source associations, with reviewed, candidate and unresolved states shown separately.
Use the result to identify questions and official sources. Final scope can depend on exact models, modules, bands, components, claims, HS codes, import structure, installation site, and current authority interpretation.
- Is this the same as medical device classification in Latvia?
- No. Risk classification determines the main medical-device pathway. This checker runs after classification and looks for additional product certificates, dossier evidence, import documents, and facility or operator licences.
- Does “no separate certificate” mean no testing is required?
- No. Safety, EMC, performance, or other evidence can still be required inside the medical-device dossier even when there is no separate national product certificate.
- Is the result an official regulatory determination?
- No. It is a preliminary applicability assessment. Review the linked official source and confirm the final route with the relevant authority, certification body, importer, or regulatory professional.
