TBT Committee Tenth Triennial Review (adopted in November 2024)
The TBT Committee is mandated to review the operation and implementation of the TBT Agreement on a triennial basis giving Members the opportunity to submit ideas on new work for the Committee. The Tenth Triennial Review process started in November 2023, and the Triennial Review report was adopted in November 2024, resulting in a set of recommendations for these new areas of work.
