Lead Shielding
X-ray Room Lead Shielding & Radiation Protection by XShield
As per the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR), all radiology facilities in the UAE must meet strict shielding standards to prevent radiation exposure to staff, patients, and the general public. At XShield, we specialize in x-ray room shielding UAE, providing room layout guidance, shielding installation, and support for facilities preparing for regulatory approval. and Our team installs customized x‑ray room shielding UAE solutions that meet all FANR and international radiation protection standards
Our team supports medical and diagnostic facilities with professional x-ray room shielding UAE solutions to ensure safe operation and compliance with FANR radiation protection requirements.

We install shielding components using certified radiation protection materials for effective x-ray room shielding UAE:
- High-density lead-lined boards and walls
- Radiation-resistant lead-lined doors with vision panels
- Clear, protective lead glass windows
- Shielding for ducts, cable trays, and penetrations
- Internal quality checks
- Wall-thickness verification
- As-built documentation
- Support for FANR shielding report submission through FANR-approved technical service provider.
Why X-ray Room Lead Shielding is Mandatory in the UAE?
X-ray machines produce ionizing radiation, which can be harmful if not properly contained. Consequently, to ensure the safety of people both inside and outside the imaging room, FANR mandates radiation shielding based on several important parameters:
- Equipment workload and usage
- Room dimensions and surrounding areas
- Occupancy and proximity of adjacent spaces
FANR’s Regulation for Radiation Protection and Safety (FANR-REG-24) outlines minimum shielding standards for different radiation-emitting equipment.
We ensure all installations comply with the FANR Radiation Protection and Safety Regulations, All official testing, inspections, and certifications are performed by REG-30 approved service providers, as mandated for X-ray facilities in the UAE, delivering trusted x-ray room shielding UAE solutions.
What We Shield?
All installations are tailored to your machine’s kV and workload. We provide:
- Room Walls – lined with 2 mm to 3 mm lead, based on calculation
- Lead Doors – with certified overlap and signage
- Lead Glass Windows – clear viewing panels that block radiation
Each element is aligned with FANR’s shielding chart and calculation matrix.

Regulatory Insight:
FANR Lead Shielding Guidelines
FANR requires that shielding be based on:
- Controlled/Uncontrolled areas
- Primary vs. Secondary barriers
- Use factor, occupancy factor, and distance
- Radiation workload and kVp/mA values
Shielding calculations and safety assessments are performed by FANR-approved physicists, ensuring compliance with FANR radiation protection regulations and international shielding standards. We ensure that all installations meet Annex B of FANR-REG-24. and All official testing, inspections, and certifications are performed by REG-30 approved service providers, ensuring full compliance with FANR Radiation Protection and Safety Regulations, as mandated for X-ray facilities in the UAE
