title: [Has the new x-ray legislation come into operation too early?].
abstract: The new legislation governing the handling of x-rays and radiation has come into effect from 1 January 1988. Many hold the opinion that this was a too early date for its enforcement, because the system of accompanying guidelines and standards is still incomplete. The present article deals with these problems and offers a survey of the present status of guidelines and standards, especially with regard to quality assurance and control.
