The types of product users are:

Responsible body

is the individual or group responsible for the use and maintenance

of equipment, for ensuring that the equipment is operated within its specifications and
operating limits, and for ensuring operators are adequately trained.

Operators

use the product for its intended function. They must be trained in electrical

safety procedures and proper use of the card. They must be protected from electric
shock and contact with hazardous live circuits.

Service personnel

are trained to work on live circuits, perform safe installations, and

repair products. Only properly trained service personnel may perform installation and
service procedures.
