Commentaries: Art. 80

Controlled areas means areas which are subject to specific requirements for the purpose of protecting against exposures to ionising radiation and preventing the spread of contamination. In the area supervised by ENSI, the termcontrolled zone may continue to be used for controlled areas.
The following are to be established as controlled areas:
1. working areas as specified in Article 81;
2. zone types I–IV as specified in Annex 10;
3. areas in which airborne contamination may exceed 0.05 CA as specified in Annex 3 Column 11 or surface contamination may exceed 1 CS as specified in Annex 3 Column 12.
The supervisory authority may request that further areas be established as controlled areas if this is appropriate for organisational reasons.
The licence holder must ensure that access to controlled areas is only possible for authorised persons.
Controlled areas must be clearly delimited and marked as specified in Annex 8.
The licence holder must supervise compliance with guidance values for ambient dose rates, contamination and indoor air activity concentrations, and compliance with protection measures and safety provisions within controlled areas.
