2.5 Operator responsibility
The operator is the person who operates the access control system for commercial or financial
purposes on his own, or allows it to be used by a third party, and bears the legal product
responsibility for protecting the user, the personnel or third parties during operation.
Operator responsibilities
The access control system is normally used in commercial areas. Thus the operator of the access control
system is subject to the legal occupational safety obligations.
In addition to the safety instructions in these instructions, the safety, occupations safety and environmental
protection regulations that apply to the area of application of the access control system must be complied with.
The following particularly applies:
 The operator must ensure that escape routes and escape doors are clear for all persons in the event of
danger.
 The operator must be familiar with the applicable occupational safety regulations and determine additional
hazards that result from the special working conditions at the usage location of the access control system.
The operator must implement these in the form of operating instructions for operating the access control
system.
 The operator must monitor whether the operating instructions that he has produced are compliant with the
latest version of the regulations for the entire usage period of the access control system and adapt them if
necessary.
 The operator must clearly define and control the responsibilities for installation, operation, fault correction,
maintenance and cleaning.
 The operator must ensure that all persons who handle the access control system have read and understood
these instructions. The personnel must also be given training at regular intervals and be notified of the
dangers.
The operator is also responsible for ensuring that the access control system is always in technically perfect
condition. The following therefore applies:
 The operator must ensure that the maintenance intervals described in these instructions are adhered to.
 The operator must have all safety equipment checked for functionality and completeness at regular intervals.
