Típusjóváhagyás

Típusjóváhagyás, in English often translated as type approval or type certification, is a formal process used to demonstrate that a product meets specific regulatory and technical requirements. This approval is typically granted by a competent authority or a designated body after a thorough evaluation of the product's design, manufacturing process, and performance. The primary goal of type approval is to ensure that products placed on the market are safe, reliable, and comply with relevant laws and standards, thereby protecting consumers and the environment.

The process generally involves submitting detailed documentation, technical specifications, test reports, and sometimes even prototypes for inspection and testing. Depending on the product and the jurisdiction, type approval may be required for a wide range of goods, including vehicles, machinery, electronics, medical devices, and telecommunications equipment. Once granted, type approval often provides a basis for the manufacturer to affix a conformity mark, such as a CE mark in Europe, indicating that the product meets the necessary requirements and can be legally sold within that market. This streamlines the process for multiple units of the same product, as each individual unit does not need to be re-certified as long as it conforms to the approved type.
