Abstract: The third type of radioactive substances include the equipments or products containing the radioactive material and need to regulate the transport process according to the new version of Regulations of The Safe Transport of Radioactive Material and The Classification and Catalogue of Radioactive Goods. As general consumer products, subjecting the transportation and warehousing of lamps to regulatory approval would hinder the development of the entire industry and also beimpractical for regulation. Most of countries have exempted the transportation and warehousing through analysis and demonstration. Through data collection and analysis of the status of the lamps production as well as environment impacts assessment on its transportation and warehousing, suggestions on the transportation and warehousing regulation of light bulbs containing small amounts of radioactive material in China are proposed according to the exemption requirements of the GB 18871—2002.
