Susan,
Simply put, a "type" certification is a 100% test by an independent
certification
agency against the applicable standard, of a single sample unit representative
of future production units. The key words are "single sample".
Typically, forthcoming production units are tested during manufature only
to a few key standard items, e.g. hi-pot and earthing resistance for ITE. This
is NOT type testing.

Subject: definition of "type" certification
Forgive me if this is a naive question (given my background of compliance to
MIL-STDs), but I keep hearing references to "type" certification which seems to
be relative to generic
FCC, ACA, etc. type compliance testing of comm devices. I am more familiar with
references to specific FCC Part 15 or other ... are these references synonymous?
