Implementing OECD Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) System |
| Project Detail |
The OECD’s Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) System provides a set of tools to harmonize chemical regulation to: reduce and/or eliminate conflicting or duplicative requirements; provide a common basis for governments to work with each other; and reduce non-tariff barriers to trade. Both OECD members and non-members may participate in the MAD system; currently 11 APEC economies adhere to the OECD’s MAD system. This project aims to provide hands-on experience to non-adherent APEC economies to understand the step-by-step process of joining the MAD system through a one-day, in-person workshop that walks through the MAD process– including implementing the Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) Compliance Monitoring Programme. The objective of this project is to provide hands-on experience to regulators to understand the process and benefits of participating in the OECD MAD system and to provide best practices from existing adhering members. This project aims to support the longstanding APEC-OECD Cooperation on Regulatory Reform, and supports Committee on Trade and Investment (CTI) goals to support the multilateral trading system, advance regional economic integration and promote trade facilitation. |
