Abstract

Chapter five is dedicated to the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade which requests that WTO members follow relevant international standards when enacting ‘technical regulations,’ ‘standards,’ ‘conformity assessment,’ or any combination. These relevant international standards are discussed as is the requirement, when no international standards exists, that the ‘technical regulations,’ ‘standards,’ and ‘conformity assessment’ are applied in a nondiscriminatory manner and are the least restrictive means to reach a legitimate objective.
