German term or phrase: Type (Austria)
In my Austrian Einkaufsbedingungen, I'm wondering if this might be a typo for "Typ" in the sense of "type" or "model". If not, what's it referring to? (Please provide explanations or background.) See the last sentence below. Thanks!

"Es ist für jede eingesetzte Komponente eine technische Dokumentation zu liefern, die eine problemlose Wartung, Mängelbehebung, Nachbestellung etc. ermöglicht. Die Planungs- und Konstruktionszeichnungen sowie Betriebs- und Wartungshandbücher (wie auch alle weiteren Dokumente) sind in einheitlicher, nachvollziehbarer Form zu erstellen unter Angabe von Komponentenbezeichnung, Fabrikaten, Typen, Hersteller, Herkunftsland. Ausgehend vom Deckblatt/Inhaltsverzeichnis ist ein klarer formaler Weg (Dokumentennummern) bis zu Zwischenblättern, Zeichnungen und Dokumenten herzustellen. Die Pläne sind normgerecht zu falten und mit einer aufgeklebten Randverstärkung zu versehen. Falls Kataloge oder Auszüge daraus verwendet werden, ist der genaue *Type* durch Markierung zu kennzeichnen."
