Application to TOPAS

TOPAS Registration helps Purchasing Authorities ensure that the Traffic Products they buy comply with national Regulations and will perform in a safe, predictable, and reliable way. Consequently, many Purchasing contracts now require that Products are TOPAS registered.

In summary, the Registration process requires that a manufacturer create a Technical File and a Declaration of Conformity, against the TOPAS specification(s) to which the Product is to be Registered and submit this an independent Technical Assessor for evaluation. The required content of the Technical File is defined in each TOPAS Performance Specification.

Following the evaluation process, the Declaration of Conformity is countersigned by the Technical Assessor and the manufacturer then submits this to TOPAS, who in turn will issue a Registration Certificate and add the Product to the TOPAS Register which is publicly accessible.

The TOPAS Registration process is described in detail in TOPAS 0600

The Registration process is supported by several forms which may be obtained via the links below.

Specific Guidance on completion of the Declaration of Conformity and the Compliance Matrix can be found below
