    How to Apply to be a Registered Radiation-Producing Vendor and Service Provider

    Pennsylvania has a registration program for vendor/service providers who sell, lease, install and/or service radiation-producing machines.

    State regulations require each vendor to register before doing business in the commonwealth.

    To register, each vendor must apply and pay a fee to the Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP). The registration must be renewed in 12 months after payment.

    You must report any radiation-producing machine installation and service to the DEP. Use the current U.S. FDA 2579 Form (see below) or equal BRP forms to report machine installation and services.
