TS 947

TS 947 explains what marks indicating conformity with Turkish standards mean from the purchaser’s point of view. The focus is on the confidence created when a product is presented as having the characteristics stated in its relevant Turkish standard and when that marking is backed by TSE approval and supervision. In other words, the standard is about the significance of the mark as a signal of assurance and information, rather than about the detailed technical design of the product itself.

What a conformity mark communicates

In general technical practice, conformity marks indicate that a product has been assessed against a defined standard within an organised conformity framework. Such marks matter most where products are expected to meet consistent requirements for performance, reliability, dimensions, materials, or use conditions. The concept addressed by TS 947 is the meaning of that mark to the purchaser: it is intended to create an impartial basis for confidence that the product corresponds to the relevant standard.

Technical context of the document

• The subject is the significance of marks indicating conformity with Turkish standards for purchasers.
• The standard is based on the idea of approval and supervision by TSE.
• The mark is meant to inform the purchaser that the product matches the features stated in the relevant standard.
• This document concerns the interpretation and perceived value of the conformity mark, not a full product specification or a detailed test method.
• TS 947 should be understood as a document about mark meaning and consumer confidence, rather than as a product test standard.
