There is no citation on equipment and radiation instruments, in this document as well as in ST-1 (1996).   What is required is

The nature and extent of the measures to be employed in the programme shall be related to the magnitude and likelihood of radiation exposures. The programme shall incorporate the requirements of paras 301, 303_305 and 311. Programme documents shall be available, on request, for  inspection by the relevant competent authority.

Specifically on radiation level,  according with packaging,  look at the following paragraphs
