The primary purpose of IRPA is to be the principal international body for the advancement of radiation protection, by co-ordinating and facilitating communication and discussion between radiation protection societies worldwide.

Supporting objectives are:


 * Facilitate the creation and sustenance of radiation protection societies worldwide
 * Hold international and regional congresses and other meetings on radiation protection
 * Promote and produce publications on radiation protection
 * Support research and educational activities in radiation protection, and the training of radiation professionals
 * Review and liaise on international radiation protection standards and recommendations by other bodies, such as ICRP, UNSCEAR and the IAEA

The primary purpose of IRPA is to provide a medium whereby those engaged in radiation protection activities in all countries may communicate more readily with each other and through this process advance radiation protection in many parts of the world. This includes relevant aspects of such branches of knowledge as science, medicine, engineering, technology and law, to provide for the protection of man and his environment from the hazards caused by radiation, and thereby to facilitate the safe use of medical, scientific, and industrial radiological practices for the benefit of mankind.

Further objectives of IRPA are:

encourage the establishment of radiation protection societies throughout the world as a means of achieving international cooperation

provide for and support international meetings for the discussions of all aspects of radiation protection

encourage international publications dedicated to radiation protection

encourage research and educational opportunities in those scientific and related disciplines which support radiation protection

encourage the establishment and continuous review of universally acceptable radiation protection standards or recommendations through the international bodies concerned.
