TS 945

TS 945 is a standard concerned with the use of marks indicating conformity with Turkish standards within a recognition scheme that is directly controlled by TSE. Its subject is the practical application of one or more marks, granted under authorization to a company when a product has been recognized as conforming to the relevant standard.

What a conformity mark means in technical use

Conformity marks are visual identifiers used to show that a product has been assessed against a specified standard and found to meet the relevant requirements. In technical practice, the mark links the product to a certification or recognition status, but it should not be read as a general guarantee of quality by itself. Its form, placement, and visibility are normally controlled so the meaning is clear and not misleading.

The scope covered by this document

This document focuses on the application of the mark or marks used within the authorization granted to a company, provided that product conformity is directly supervised by TSE. In other words, the emphasis is not on product design requirements but on how the conformity claim is signaled and how that signaling is governed. The standard addresses disciplined, auditable use of the mark rather than informal branding or marketing use.

• A conformity-recognition framework associated with direct TSE supervision
• Mark use under authorization granted to the relevant company
• Application of an identifying mark showing product conformity with the standard
• Separation from unauthorized or ambiguous use of a conformity mark

In general technical terms, conformity marks help manufacturers, customers, and supply-chain users quickly identify how a product has been evaluated. Because TS 945 is about the use of these marks in practice, it serves as a reference for presenting conformity claims in a consistent and controllable way.
