USER ROLES
To guarantee safety, we place requirements on the users of the equipment that must be met without fail. Only persons
meeting the requirements are authorised to work with the equipment.
We describe all those who work with the equipment as users. Since the requirements of these users are very much
dependent on their activity, we distinguish the following user roles.
Operating company:
The operating company ensures that the equipment is properly used and authorises persons who are entitled to work
with the equipment in any one of the defined user roles. He is under the obligation to instruct the users.
Service technician:
The service technician is an employee of the operating company and looks after the equipment in special operating
mode(s). He is a specialist with mechanical, electrical and electronic professional training. The service technician
undertakes commissioning, decommissioning service and repair of the equipment and must be appropriately trained
to be able to carry out the service work required. Contact Avantor before any service work is started - please
check chapter "Service".
Operator:
The operator turns the equipment on and off. In the event of an alarm signal he informs the service technician.
