Code of ethics

In accordance with its statutes, the Belgian Association of Radiological Protection (IRPA affiliate) is a scientific association aiming to:
1. provide its members with objective and high level information regarding all aspects of radiological protection,
2. contribute to the knowledge of radiological protection among interested citizens and organisations,
3. promote the development of radiological protection by bringing together various scientific disciplines and through international networking,
4. put forward independent opinions on scientific, legal or organisational aspects of radiological protection when the association judges it necessary or on request.

According to this mission, the members of the ABR/BVS take on, as individuals, high-level responsibilities concerning public health and safety. This code will offer them appropriate and useful ethical guidance.
