National regulations or appropriate International or national standards can be referred to for competence on electrical and electronic systems.

NOTE2 This document does not apply to persons carrying out work on self‑contained refrigerating systems as defined in ISO5149‑1 or EN378‑1, from the initial design of the product to the complete manufacture of the product, provided the process is controlled and the methods used are checked by an organization or individual responsible for the conformance with statutory requirements on health, safety and environment (e.g. energy efficiency).
