Radioactive Import
Clearance & Transportation
Services in Singapore
Licensed, safe, and fully compliant delivery and import clearance of radioactive materials in Singapore, supported by approved permits, trained personnel, and strict adherence to NEA regulations.
Why Radioactive Material Transport
Needs a Specialized Provider
Labgistics is one of the few operators in Singapore licensed to import, store, and transport radioactive materials. With NEA-approved IR1, IR2, and IR3 licenses, R1-certified personnel and licensed drivers with HTDP, we provide safe, compliant, and reliable radioactive material clearance and transportation to hospitals, imaging centres, and research facilities.
Why it matters?
Strict NEA regulatory requirements
All shipments of radioactive materials above the exemption levels in Singapore must comply with National Environment Agency (NEA) regulations. Unlicensed importers/ transporters are not legally allowed to handle, store, or transport radioactive substances.
Time sensitivity (short half-life isotopes like Tc-99m)
Many radiopharmaceuticals like Tc-99m have short half-lives. Delays can affect product integrity and render them ineffective for patient imaging or therapy, making reliable delivery critical.
Shielding, chain-of-custody, and transport routing requirements
Radioactive materials require specialised shielding and monitoring during transport. Standard delivery services lack the vehicles, containers, and safety protocols needed to protect workers and the public.
Trained radiation workers
(R1 License holders)
Only R1-certified radiation workers are authorized to handle radioactive materials and operate/energize any ionizing irradiating apparatus. This certification ensures they understand radiation safety, proper handling procedures, and regulatory compliance.
Ensures timely patient care
Dedicated delivery of time-sensitive radiopharmaceuticals ensures patients receive their radioactive imaging and therapy on time.

End-to-End Service Work Flow
1. Regulatory Compliance Check & Documentation
Before every shipment, we review NEA permits, licenses, and shipment documentation to ensure full legal and safety compliance. If required, we will apply or amend existing licenses to ensure that regulatory requirements are met.
2. Custom Clearance at Port or Pickup of Radioactive Materials
Our certified staff handles the import clearance of radioactive materials at the port or collects it directly from pickup location in Singapore, adhering to strict schedules and handling protocols.
3. Direct Delivery of Radioactive Materials in Compliant Vehicles
All deliveries are delivered directly to hospitals or research facilities in compliant vehicles, ensuring safe radioactive material transport and minimising exposure risks.
4. Chain-of-Custody Handover
Every handoff is carefully documented and tracked, ensuring accountability from pickup to final delivery.
5. Return of Radioactive Waste (If Required)
We manage the safe return of generators or radioactive waste, providing full end-to-end coverage and compliance for your company.
