Any business or individual who possesses an X-ray-producing machine must register the machine with SCDES within 30 days of acquiring the machine.

You are also required to notify SCDES any time you sell or expose of a registered X-ray machine.

Moving Machine to New Location? Notify SCDES

Facilities must report to the Department, within thirty (30) days, any changes of status affecting any x-ray machine or facility. If your facility moves an X-Ray machine from one address to another location owned by the same person or people, the report of change status must be made on Form D-4262 “Report of Change”. You will not need to re-register the machine or pay an additional application fee. (However, if applicable, a new shielding plan must be submitted to and accepted by the Department prior to the move.) You may submit the form electronically to: XRayFRA-ShieldingPlans@des.sc.gov.

If you are opening an additional or satellite facility, you must complete a facility registration approval request form and submit the application fee. (If applicable, a new shielding plan must be submitted to and accepted by SCDES prior to installation of equipment.) Please refer to the Facility Registration section for more information.
