The practitioner in the enterprise expects answers to the following questions: Who is, as manufacturer and user (also operator), through the implementation of the EC law in the respective enterprise organisation competent and bears the legal responsibility? 

In particular: 
• Who falls under the terms “manufacturer” and “user” (operator) and other terms used by lawmakers and regulation makers for the intended addressee of norms? 
• How are, in the enterprise hierarchy, the legally required obligations distributed to executive staff and other “responsible persons”? 
• What are the legal risks for this group of persons both in the home country and abroad? 

This compilation does not deal in detail with the formal transfer of entrepreneurial obligations and the legal consequences in case of non-compliance.
