TECHNICAL BARRIERS TO TRADE: NOTIFICATIONS
Submission of notifications
The TBT Committee has adopted Guidelines for Notification Procedures for Draft Technical Regulations and Conformity Assessment Procedures as well as a recommendation on when to use which notification format. Governments can submit notifications to the WTO Central Registry of Notifications through the online notification submission system or by email.
- National notification authorities can now use the TBT Notification Submission System (TBT NSS) to fill out and submit TBT notifications of technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures online. This easy to use interface ensures rapid circulation of notifications and timesaving features. For access, contact the TBT NSS team (tbtnss@wto.org).
- Notifications can also be submitted by email to the Central Registry of Notifications (crn@wto.org) by using the formats below.
