Turkish Standards Conformity Certificate (TSE Certificate)
The Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) is the official body that certifies products’ compliance with Turkish standards and provides formal documentation of this conformity. The TSE Certificate (TSE Belgesi) demonstrates that products manufactured by producers or subcontractors meet the required quality and safety standards. This certificate is also known as the Turkish Standards Conformity Certificate.
What is the TSE Certificate?
The TSE Certificate is an official document confirming that a product has been manufactured in accordance with the relevant Turkish standards. Manufacturers who obtain this certificate gain the right to affix the TSE Diamond Mark (Baklava Dilimi Markası) to their products. This mark signifies that the product meets established quality and safety criteria.
How to Obtain the TSE Certificate?
The main steps to obtain a TSE Certificate are as follows:
- Application – Submit an official application to TSE.
- Preparation of Documents – Required documents include legal registration papers, signature circulars, and trademark registration certificates.
- Inspection – TSE experts carry out an on-site inspection of the production facility and review production processes.
- Testing – Necessary product tests are conducted either in TSE laboratories or in accredited laboratories.
- Certification – Upon successful completion of inspections and tests, the TSE Certificate is issued.
Once this process is completed, the conformity of products with Turkish standards is officially documented.
