General remarks

• Yes/No to be replaced by percentages or 0/partial/almost complete/complete

• Many questions should be A instead of B or C because of proven legal basis

• Many questions are in fact multiple questions and should be subdivided

• Vague terminology e.g. regularly ? adequat ?• Certain abbreviations should be explained e.g. BSS and SOP• Composition of audit team ? Feasible for small departments ?• Minimum professional requirements not clear.

What is IAEA DAT certificate ?• Guiding principles and procedures: only IAEA accepted ?

E.g. NVNG document • Feasibility within proposed time frame ?

• Hospital coordinator quality management:– Did You find him/her ?– Did he/she cooperate ?

• How much time did You spent on filling out the checklists ?• Did You experience it as being usefull ?
