When a customer or distributor itself becomes the provider
Distributors, importers, deployers and other third parties can take on provider obligations. That happens when you put your own name or trademark on a system, when you make a substantial modification to a high-risk system, and when you change the intended purpose of a non high-risk system so that it becomes high-risk.
