Saint Martin Type Approval Requirements

- Compliance with technical standards: Your products must meet the technical standards and specifications set by the BTP, such as the Saint Martin Technical Regulations for Telecommunications Equipment (RSTMT), the Saint Martin Technical Regulations for Medical Devices (RSTDM), or the Saint Martin Technical Regulations for Automotive Products (RSTVA). These standards cover aspects such as electromagnetic compatibility, safety, performance, and environmental impact.
- Testing by accredited laboratories: Your products must be tested by laboratories that are accredited by the BTP or recognized by international bodies such as the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC). The test reports must be valid, reliable, and comprehensive, and must cover all the relevant parameters and criteria.
- Submission of technical documentation: Your application for type approval must include detailed technical documentation that describes the design, operation, and functionality of your products. The documentation must be in French, and must follow the BTP’s formatting and content requirements.
