Competent personnel
Due to the specialist knowledge gained
from professional training, work experi-
ence, and recent professional activity, the
competent person has a reliable under-
standing of safety-related issues and can
correctly carry out inspections. Depend-
ing on the complexity of the test to be un-
dertaken, e.g. scope of testing, type of
testing or the use of certain measuring
devices, a range of specialist knowledge
is necessary.
In other countries, ensure that the
relevant national guidelines and
regulations in the respective current
version are complied with!
If no country-specific regulations
are available, it is recommended to
proceed according to German
guidelines and regulations.
