Omologati

Omologati is the plural form of omologato in Italian, meaning products, devices, or statuses that have been officially approved and certified to meet specific standards. The term comes from omologazione, or homologation in English, and ultimately from the Greek roots for agreement or conformity. In regulatory language, an item described as omologato has undergone a formal conformity assessment by a competent authority and received recognition that it complies with applicable requirements.

The most common area of use is regulatory approval and market access. In the automotive sector, a vehicle design or model may undergo type approval to prove it meets safety, emissions, and performance standards. In pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and construction or electrical products, conformity assessments and certifications ensure safety and reliability before sale or use. The process typically involves compiling technical documentation, testing in accredited laboratories, and evaluation by a regulatory body or notified body. Once granted, a formal omologazione may be required for import, sale, or operation within a jurisdiction; noncompliant products can be barred, recalled, or fined.

In sport and other competitive fields, omologare refers to the formal recognition of a performance, result, or record by the governing federation, enabling it to be officially acknowledged.

In everyday use, omologati are items or statuses described as certified, standards-compliant, or officially approved, often accompanied by a certification mark or certificate. The term emphasizes conformity to predefined rules and reliability for public use.
