ASEAN Trade In Goods Agreement (ATIGA) Upgrade

The STRACAP Chapter of the upgraded ATIGA provides a comprehensive framework to prevent standards, technical regulations, and conformity assessment procedures from creating unnecessary technical barriers to trade across ASEAN Member States.

It enhances transparency, promotes alignment with international standards, and strengthens regional cooperation on conformity assessment, risk-based market surveillance, and sector-specific arrangements to streamline product approvals and reduce compliance costs.
