Thirteen UNECE recommendations have been adopted by the Working Party1 since 1970 to address standardization and regulatory issues. They set out good practice regarding:
- Regulatory cooperation
- Metrology
- Standards and Norms
- Conformity assessment
- Market surveillance
These recommendations are not binding and do not aim at rigidly aligning technical regulations across countries. Through these recommendations, the Working Party encourages rule makers to base their regulations on international standards to provide a common denominator to the norms that apply in different markets. It also seeks to promote agreements that enhance cooperation and mutual confidence in the technical competence, reliability and impartiality of other national bodies and institutions.
