  • Support institutions/National standards bodies (NSB) to align with international standards
  • Increase transparency by supporting testing/inspection service providers
  • Strengthening WTO TBT/SPS/TF Enquiry Points to contribute to the simplification of trade flows
  • Harmonization of compliance requirements and mutual recognition of conformity assessment procedures
