Commissioned technician
Technicians are people:
– that on the basis of their technical training, knowledge, experience and work, perform their as-
signed test properly and identify and evaluate potential hazards.
– that have sufficient knowledge in the field of automatic door systems, relevant national safety reg-
ulations, accident prevention regulations, directives and generally recognized technical regula-
tions, so they can judge the secure working condition of automatic door systems.
These people include, for example, technicians from the manufacturing or supplying company,
relevantly experienced, trained personnel authorized by the manufacturer or other persons with
appropriate expertise.
Experts must submit their assessment objectively from the standpoint of personal and operational
safety without being influenced by other requirements, such as i.e. economic circumstances.
