Radon Legislation & Compliance
EU law mandates radon measurement in workplaces and dwellings. Below is an overview of the key European and national regulations that apply to Belgium.
EU Directive 2013/59/Euratom
The Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom sets basic safety standards for protection against ionising radiation, including radon exposure.
- Establishes reference levels for radon concentration in workplaces and dwellings
- Requires Member States to establish National Radon Action Plans
- Mandates workplace measurements and remedial actions when necessary
Netherlands National Radon Action Plan
The Netherlands has implemented comprehensive radon legislation following EU Directive 2013/59.
- Reference level of 300 Bq/m³ for workplaces
- Mandatory measurements in high-risk areas
- Requirements for radon-proof construction in new buildings
- Public awareness campaigns and information programs
Belgian National Radon Action Plan 2020–2025
Belgium's comprehensive strategy addresses radon risks through a multi-faceted approach involving federal and regional authorities.
- Reference level of 300 Bq/m³ for existing buildings and workplaces
- Target of 100 Bq/m³ for new constructions
- Radon mapping and identification of priority areas
Key Reference Levels
Health risk increases 16% per 100 Bq/m³ increase in radon concentration (WHO, 2009). Radon is responsible for 3–14% of lung cancer cases.
