The IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SSR-6 (Rev. 1), Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, 2018 Edition, establish requirements for the safe transport of radioactive material. Packages intended for transport must be designed to meet applicable national and international regulations. A package design safety report (PDSR) is commonly used as documentary evidence of compliance. This Safety Guide provides recommendations on preparing a PDSR to demonstrate compliance with the Transport Regulations for package designs that require approval by a competent authority. It is intended for use by applicants, package designers, and consignors.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has established comprehensive safety standards for the transport of radioactive material in its Safety Standards Series No. SSR-6 (Rev. 1), titled "Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material." These regulations are designed to ensure the safe and secure movement of radioactive material across borders and within various environments.
To meet these safety standards, packages intended for the transport of radioactive material must be carefully designed and constructed to meet applicable national and international regulations. These regulations cover various aspects such as package design, labeling, documentation, and transportation procedures.
For package designs that require approval by a competent authority, the documentary evidence of compliance with the applicable regulations is commonly known as a package design safety report (PDSR). A PDSR is a comprehensive report that outlines the design, construction, and testing of the package to ensure that it meets the safety requirements specified by the relevant regulations.
In cases where package designs do not require competent authority approval, a PDSR can still be used as an appropriate form of documentary evidence of compliance with the Transport Regulations. The PDSR serves as a means to demonstrate that the package design has been carefully evaluated and meets the necessary safety standards.
This Safety Guide provides recommendations on the preparation of a PDSR to demonstrate compliance of a package design for the transport of radioactive material with the Transport Regulations. The guide is intended for use by applicants for approval of package designs (when package designs are subject to competent authority approval) as well as by package designers and/or consignors (when package designs do not require competent authority approval).
The common structure for the competent authority assessment process outlined in this Safety Guide will benefit regulators by providing a standardized approach to evaluate package designs. Designers and consignors will also find a consistent approach to justify the compliance of a package design with the regulatory requirements, thereby enhancing the overall safety of radioactive material transport.
In conclusion, the IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SSR-6 (Rev. 1) and the accompanying Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and secure transport of radioactive material. By adhering to these regulations and following the recommendations outlined in this Safety Guide, organizations can minimize the risks associated with radioactive material transport and protect the public, workers, and the environment from potential harm.
