Industrial Radiography is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method that uses ionising radiation to examine the internal structure of materials, components, and equipment without causing damage. Any person, company, or organization intending to operate radiography devices for industrial radiography purposes must obtain a licence under the Atomic Energy (Radiation Protection) Rules, 2004. The licence is issued by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB), which regulates the safe use of radiation sources and ensures compliance with radiation safety standards. This licence is mandatory for facilities conducting industrial radiography activities and helps protect workers, the public, and the environment from potential radiation hazards.
