YTS and Vehicle Type-Approval Process Consulting

AİTM, MARTOY, TORTOY and MOTOY scope

Vehicle category, manufacture or modification type, manufacturer status and target market change the applicable regulation, technical-responsibility, testing, dossier and application route. The headings below are general guidance. Current rules, transitional provisions and competent-authority records are checked against official sources at the start of each project.

• AİTM: national conformity and project routes that may apply to manufacture, modification or assembly of existing vehicles
• MARTOY: type-approval routes for relevant categories of motor vehicles and their trailers
• TORTOY: type-approval routes for agricultural and forestry vehicles
• MOTOY: type-approval routes for L-category two-, three- or four-wheel vehicles
• The correct route cannot be determined from a product name alone; technical classification and competent-authority input may be required

The YTS role and authorisation checks

Whether a YTS role is required, the professional or training conditions, signing authority and engagement model may vary by project type. AIOR identifies these questions in the pre-assessment; a person's YTS status or authority to sign a particular dossier is confirmed only through current credentials, records and competent-authority rules.

Items checked during pre-assessment

• Vehicle category, variants, manufacture/modification nature and intended use
• Roles of the applicant, manufacturer, workshop, technical manager and other parties
• Applicable degree, professional-registration, training, examination, appointment or employment conditions
• Existing technical documents, test reports, drawings and traceability records
• Confirmation of competent authority, technical-service or laboratory route, official fees and schedules

AIOR Engineering & Consulting Scope

• 1. Classification pre-assessment: document the possible regulatory route for the vehicle, work and target market, separating assumptions from points requiring confirmation.
• 2. Requirements matrix: map customer, technical-manager, laboratory/technical-service and authority responsibilities to documents, tests and decision points.
• 3. Technical-file plan: inventory available and missing drawings, calculations, component data, test reports, production-conformity and traceability records, then structure the dossier.
• 4. Test planning and coordination: coordinate quotations or appointments only with laboratories or technical services whose scope has been verified; we do not present their testing as AIOR's own.
• 5. Application preparation: after authorised-party approval, support form, attachment, version and missing-document tracking under the written allocation of duties.
• 6. Technical-review support: track authority or laboratory feedback through change control and organise response material prepared by the customer and authorised specialists.
• 7. COP and traceability readiness: where applicable, produce process, record and audit-readiness checklists; AIOR does not act as auditor or certification body.
• 8. Decision and handover record: track official outcomes, open conditions, revisions and any future renewal or surveillance steps in the project file.

Typical Use Cases

• Identify the applicable route and document set for a vehicle bodywork or modification project
• Build a requirements, testing and technical-file plan for a new vehicle type or variant family
• Prepare classification and application work for an agricultural/forestry or L-category vehicle project
• Track deficiencies raised by an authority or technical service through controlled revisions
• Plan production-conformity and traceability records
• Confirm current conditions and the official application channel for a YTS candidate or proposed technical manager

Why a Quote Stage Matters

The $599 catalogue amount is an indicative starting fee for pre-assessment, not a binding approval package. Vehicle and variant count, existing-document quality, applicable tests, authorised-party capacity and target market all change time and cost. Deliverables, responsibility boundaries, schedule, inclusions and exclusions are stated in writing before payment.

AIOR's role and excluded items

• AIOR is not TSE, a ministry, approval authority, technical service, accredited laboratory or auditor and does not decide on their behalf
• Official application, certificate, training/exam, testing, technical-service, laboratory, notary, translation, travel and similar third-party costs remain the customer's responsibility unless expressly included in writing
• A YTS appointment, signature or technical-responsibility role is not included in the starting package; where needed, a separately documented engagement with a verified authorised person is required
• Physical production-line, workshop, prototype, equipment or vehicle work is included only where expressly quoted
• Application acceptance, exam success, test result, certificate issuance, authority timing or international recognition is not guaranteed
• VAT and other applicable taxes are shown in the order or invoice
