Harmonization of Trade Standards

Harmonization of trade standards refers to the process of aligning rules, regulations, and technical standards across different countries to create a more seamless trading environment. This helps reduce barriers to trade by ensuring that products meet similar safety, quality, and environmental criteria, regardless of where they are produced. By harmonizing standards, countries can facilitate international trade, improve consumer safety, and promote fair competition, making it easier for businesses to operate globally while protecting both consumers and the environment.
