The TBT Information Management System is a comprehensive source of information on measures relating to technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures. It allows users to track and obtain information on regulations that member governments have notified to the WTO (an obligation for WTO Members) and which may affect international trade in goods. It also contains other TBT transparency-related information including member governments’ national enquiry points and standardization bodies.

The TBT IMS also helps the Secretariat produce official documents on TBT notifications, and undertake faster and more comprehensive analyses on TBT matters at the request of Members. The application is now available on the WTO website. The system allows advanced searches to be based on a variety of criteria such as geographic groupings, product codes, comment periods and keywords.
