Other tests andproper maintenance are necessary to ensure their reliableperformance.5. Personnel Responsibilit

17、ies5.1 The infrared thermographer shall:5.1.1 Have sufficient knowledge of the components, con-struction and theory of electrical or mechanical equipment, orboth, to understand the observed patterns of radiation,5.1.2 Be knowledgeable of, and comply with, the safetypractices and rules of the end use

18、r, and5.1.3 Use an infrared imaging system with imaging orradiometric capabilities, or both, sufficient to meet the exami-nation requirements.5.2 Unless he/she is a licensed electrician, professionalengineer or has other equivalent qualifications, the infraredthermographer:5.2.1 Shall not perform an

19、y tasks that are normally done bythese personnel. Unless so qualified and authorized by the enduser, the infrared thermographer,5.2.2 Shall not remove or replace covers or open or closecabinets containing electrical or mechanical equipment,5.2.3 Shall not measure electric loads of equipment, and5.2.

20、4 Shall not touch any equipment and shall maintain asafe distance from it.5.3 The qualified assistant shall fulfill the responsibilitieslisted in 3.1.5, 6.1, 6.2, 6.4 through 6.4.3, 6.7.1, and 6.8.5.4 The end user shall assume full responsibility for conse-quences resulting from actions taken, or no

21、t taken, as a resultof data provided by an infrared examination.6. Procedure6.1 The end user shall provide, to accompany the infraredthermographer, a qualified assistant who is knowledgeable ofthe operation and history of the equipment to be examined.6.2 With the assistance of the qualified assistan
