The BfS Coordinating Offices
The tasks of the Coordinating Offices are laid down in the Precautionary Radiation Protection Act (StrVG) and in the Radiation Protection Ordinance (StrlSchV). Among other things, these include verifying the measurement data collected as part of environmental monitoring (AVV-IMIS) in accordance with StrVG and as part of emission and immission monitoring (REI) in accordance with StrlSchV as well as summarising and documenting these data. After a transitional period StrVG and StrlSchV will be replaced by the Radiation Protection Act (StrlSchG) which entered into force in July 2017.
