Abstract
This order, which applies to Scotland only, exempts persons conditionally from registration under the Radioactive Substances Act 1960 in respect of the keeping and use of 'radioactive material' within the meaning of that Act as regards smoke detectors incorporating closed sources possessing limited radioactivity. The order revokes and re-enacts with certain amendments the Radioactive Substances (Fire Detectors) Exemption (Scotland) Order 1967.
