The purpose of this study is to assess certain standards-related barriers to trade (also known as technical barriers to trade) of particular interest to the global information technology (IT) industry. These include duplicative conformity assessment requirements; onerous quality registration, testing, certification, and marking and labeling requirements; and strategic standards policies of some major IT-producing countries. The study will focus on the computer hardware, software, and telecommunications equipment sectors of the IT industry. |
