This information request is being posted for someone who does not have 
radsafe access.  His name is Dick Twomey.
He would like to know what are the "mechanics" a U.S. manufacturer of x-ray 
equipment must go through to sell x-ray equipment in Australia.  Also, once 
x-ray equipment made in the U.S. arrives in Australia, does the new owner 
have to register it in the individual state?  Do the regulations on x-ray 
equipment vary from state to state?  And finally, if the vendor were to 
provide the results of a safety survey of the equipment to the buyer, what 
qualifications would be needed for the U.S. physicist doing the survey? [CHP 
or ABR?]

If someone is willing to be a contact person, Dick Twomey would really 
appreciate being able to speak to someone knowledgeable about these issues. 
 Could a phone number and best contact time be provided? [I believe there 
are 12 hours difference between ESTin the U.S. and Sydney time.]

Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.
