10A Variation of licences and accreditations

(1) The Authority may, by notice in writing to the holder of a licence or an accreditation, vary the licence or accreditation in accordance with this section.

(2) A variation may be made only on application in the approved form, and on payment of the prescribed fee, by the holder of the licence or accreditation concerned.

(3) A licence may be varied so as to authorise the possession, use or sale of a substance or apparatus to which section 6 applies, being a substance or apparatus that the licensee is not authorised, at the time of the application, to possess, use or sell.

(4) An accreditation may be varied so as to authorise the holder of the accreditation to carry on a specified activity prescribed for the purposes of section 9, being an activity that the holder is not authorised, at the time of the application, to carry on.

(5) The Authority is not to:

(a) vary a licence to use a substance or apparatus to which section 6 applies-unless the Authority is satisfied:

(i) that the licensee has appropriate knowledge of the principles and practices of radiation safety and protection applicable to the activities proposed to be carried on by the licensee in pursuance of the licence as so varied, and

(ii) that the licensee meets the requirements referred to in section 6 (5) (a) and (c), or

(b) vary an accreditation-unless the Authority is satisfied:

(i) that the holder of the accreditation has the expertise necessary to properly carry on the activities to be authorised by the accreditation as so varied, and

(ii) that the holder of the accreditation meets the requirements for accreditation as a consulting radiation expert set out in a document forming part of the National Directory and adopted by the Authority under section 37.

(6) A notice under this section is to impose such conditions (if any) in connection with the variation concerned as the Authority may determine.

(7) Despite subsection (2), the Authority may, at the request of the holder of a licence or accreditation, vary the licence or accreditation so as to revoke an authorisation conferred by the licence or accreditation and revoke any condition imposed in connection with the authorisation so revoked.

(8) This section does not affect the operation of section 10.
