how do we balance the need for safety when we have items like medical equipment that can kill someone (i.e. respirator that someone "fix" but ends up over pressurizing lungs or iv machines that dispense the wrong medication that overdoses someone) with making sure that people can fix equipment they own (like farmer because able to fix tractor, or person fixing their car).
There has to be some limitations but you know companies will attempt to make it the most stringent.
Does it become like electrical work or contracting in the US for single family houses where if you own it and won't cause damage to others then you can do the work yourself, but if you multi-family dwelling or for commercial work you have to have some sort of professional that certified?
