Topas Artsm
TOPAS operates as a not-for-profit limited company, overseen by a tripartite Management Board that includes government representatives, users such as National Highways, and members from the manufacturing community. It provides a comprehensive product registration and certification service for manufacturers, ensuring that products meet established Technical Procurement Standards for traffic control and related equipment.
The organisation's key purposes include maintaining a register of products assessed by an independent Technical Assessor, developing technical performance criteria, and facilitating public consultations for standards reviews. Although its standards are not mandatory, they can be a requirement in specific purchasing contracts, placing the onus on contracting parties to ensure product suitability and installation compliance.
