Under the terms of Article III of its Statute, the IAEA is authorized to establish standards of safety for protection against ionizing radiation and to provide for the apphcation of these standards to peaceful nuclear activities.

The Agency s standards in the field of radiation protection - the International Basic Safety Standards for Protection against Ionizing Radiation and for the SafeQr of Radiation Sources (BSS) -have been co-sponsored by a number of international organizations and a consensus was reached by the audience they r resent. This is particularly important for obvious reasons. For example, tihe co-sponsorship of the ILO means that these Standards will apply to the conv tion on occupational health the co-sponsorship of WHO means a de facto endorsement of many medical instimtions etc. The BSS co-sponsorship therefore has far-reaching inq>lications.
