3.5. Specific tasks relevant to source and environmental monitoring as well as surveillance may be delegated to other organizations by the government or by the regulatory body using a transparent and auditable process that is subject to independent scrutiny. In deciding on the delegation of specific tasks to other organizations, the regulatory body should give due consideration to the availability of suitably qualified and experienced personnel, appropriate analytical techniques and equipment, and an appropriate management system. Examples of tasks that may be delegated are the following:
(a) The design and implementation of source and environmental monitoring programmes, such as programmes conducted to assess the cumulative radiological impact of multiple or related facilities on the same areas and the same population groups;
(b) The assessment of doses to members of the public, to verify that they are maintained below the limits established in the licence;
(c) Tasks relating to safety and emergency response.
