Module B: EU-Type Examination – What Is the Production Type Standard?

Module B is one of the conformity assessment modules defined in the European Union's New Approach Directives and various product regulations. It is applicable to pressure equipment, gas-burning appliances, lifts, personal protective equipment, and many other product groups.

Under this module;

• The technical file is examined,

• A sample representing the production type is evaluated,

• Necessary tests and inspections are reviewed,

• Compliance with regulatory requirements is verified,

• It is assessed whether the product design meets the relevant essential safety requirements.

Module B: EU-Type Examination – Production Type: How is it carried out?

The conformity assessment process is carried out by examining the product's technical specifications and production type.

The process generally consists of the following stages:

• Examination of the technical file,

• Evaluation of design data,

• Verification of calculations,

• Review of necessary test reports,

• Evaluation of the product sample,

• Verification of compliance with relevant regulatory requirements

stages.

An EU Type-Examination Certificate may be issued when the examinations determine that the product type meets the regulatory requirements.
