The periodic leak test required does not apply to sealed sources that are stored and not being used. The sources excepted from this test shall be tested for leakage prior to any use or transfer to another user.unless they have been leak tested within six months prior to the date of use or transfer.

In the absence of a certifi-cate from a transferrer indicating that a test has been made within
