TS 13769

TS 13769 is a Turkish standard that sets out technical and operational rules for workplaces involved in the manufacture, modification, and mounting of road vehicles. Its focus is not just the production activity itself, but the workplace as a whole: its physical arrangement, technical infrastructure, personnel requirements, and safety framework.

What kinds of workplace provisions are brought together?

In this context, “physical characteristics” refers to the suitability of the site layout and working areas. “Management” covers how the operation is organized in practice, including workflow, records, responsibilities, and day-to-day control. “Technical equipment” points to the tools, systems, and infrastructure needed for vehicle manufacturing, alteration, and assembly tasks. “Personnel characteristics” highlights the competence and responsibility expected from people working in these activities.

Why manufacture, modification, and mounting are treated separately

For road vehicles, manufacture, modification, and mounting can involve different technical risks and operational needs. Manufacture concerns creating a vehicle or component, modification concerns changing an existing design or structure, and mounting concerns the correct integration of parts or systems onto the vehicle. These distinctions matter because equipment selection, workplace control, and staff responsibilities are not identical across the three activities, even when they belong to the same industrial environment. The standard provides a common framework for workplaces carrying out these tasks.

• The scope combines workplace structure and technical equipment in one framework.
• Personnel competence and safety rules are part of the standard’s core focus.
• It applies to workplaces manufacturing, modifying, and mounting road vehicles.
• Referenced standards include TS 13346:2015 and TS HD 60364-5-54:2012.
