Type Examination Certificates

Type Examination certificates are formal documents issued by authorized bodies that confirm product compliance with health and safety requirements. These certificates are particularly essential for higher-risk products and form part of Module B in conformity assessment procedures.

In the EU, EC-Type Examination Certificates are issued by EU Notified Bodies, while UKCA-Type Examination Certificates are issued by UK Approved Bodies for the UK market. These certificates are necessary under specific directives and regulations, such as the Machinery Directive, PPE Regulation, and Medical Device Regulation.

Common categories requiring Type Examination include Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), medical devices, and machinery. Vendors selling these products must adhere to certification requirements relevant to their market and product category.
