Device Type Approval Tests

Device type approval is a document that shows that the manufactured electrical, electronic or mechanical device meets the required specifications and is a basic prerequisite for the delivery of certain products to consumers. A type approval certificate is issued to a product that meets the minimum technical, safety and regulatory requirements by accredited organizations. In general, type approval is required before a product is allowed to be sold in a particular country. Device type approval is not a concept limited to a particular industry. There are type approval requirements for a wide range of devices, from mobile phones to marine equipment, from the automotive industry to medical equipment. Device type approval means that it is certified because it meets certain requirements depending on the type of device, whatever type it is.

For example, technical arrangements for medical devices have been made to remove technical barriers in trade between European Union countries and to facilitate the free movement of products in the European Union market. These regulations envisage the CE mark application, which proves that the minimum safety requirements for medical devices are respected, and this application is a mandatory practice for any medical device. Within this framework, the type approval tests of the devices and the type approval certificate should be prepared.

Another example is the type approval procedures of measuring instruments. Regulations on this issue are included in the Measurement and Measurement Tools Type Approval Regulation published by the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology. According to this regulation, the type approval certificate is issued for measuring instruments other than those documented under certain legal regulations. In order to request type approval certificate, such devices must be tested and examined by an authorized inspection institution or notified body. This consumers are protected in a way.
