Working with the sub-regional organisations, the project compares national legal metrology requirements, identifies the differences that hold up trade and drafts model regulations based on OIML recommendations.
National authorities are supported to adopt the model regulations and to recognise each other's verification marks.

- Draft model regulations for pre-packaged goods and trade instruments
- Support adoption and mutual recognition
Expected results
- Model regulations endorsed by the General Assembly
- Fewer re-verifications at borders
- A regional register of recognised verification marks
