regarding UAE health screenings: Hep B HBsAg HBsAb HBcAb

hi people,
I think I've found the answer myself.
I found the Health Authority Abu Dhabi's policy regarding the matter on their website. It's very detailed.
It turned out only HBsAg is tested.

Only one thing still confuses me. According to their documents, not all visa applicants are required to be tested of HBV, but only the visa applicants whose occupation falls into Category Bi, Bii, C are required.
Does any one know what is Category Bi, Bii, and C???
Thank you!
