TBT Programme Selected Outputs
The Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Programme was a €15 million demand-driven trade-related technical assistance facility covering the period 2013-2017. The Programme funded by the European Union at the request of the ACP Group of States ended in June 2017 and before its finalisation the Programme Management Unit applied a selection process to identify key outputs produced during the lifetime of the Programme for ready access by ACP beneficiaries.
These outputs are classified around 4 key TBT areas, i.e. Accreditation and Certification; Standardisation; QI and Training. The documents selection was made on the basis of four criteria namely: quality of the output; replicability; non-confidentiality and approval by the beneficiary.
The documents available on this page cover different aspects of Quality Infrastructure (QI) such as:
- National QI policy definition and institutional framework
- Trade Regulatory Impact Assessments
- Draft of technical regulations: good regulatory practice guidelines
- GRP methodology and the harmonisation of procedures
- Risk Management Assessments in Regulatory Frameworks
- Development and harmonization of Standards (Regional and national); value chain approach
- Proposal of regulations and codes of practices to effective and gradual implementation of standards
- Mutual recognition arrangements
- Laboratories accreditation: mainly gap analysis and needs assessments
- E-learning Programme Platforms on Accreditation and Legal Metrology
- SMEs coaching for certification
- Training material such as training of trainers
