Signalling their approval of the design and build standard of the aircraft, Type Acceptance was preceded on 10 June by confirmation that the Typhoon had achieved its contracted Basic Mass Empty (BME) requirement.

For single-seat Typhoons, the contracted BME weight is 11 tonnes (24,251 Ib), while the two-seat version is 700 kg G.S15 Ib) heavier.
