Type Approval Standards

The Type Approval Standards listed below are grouped under headings according to the main kinds of equipment to which they relate. In addition, the emphasis of each of the Type Approval Standards listed are identified with regard to whether they deal mainly with safety, electromagnetic compatibility or physical interoperability (which can cover optical, electrical or radio systems). Some standards relate to so many kinds of equipment that they are collected under their own heading. These groupings are intended for convenience.
