International Harmonization

The Canadian ETV Program is an active participant in efforts to support the international harmonization of assessment protocols and test methods, building on the established Canadian ETV Program Generic Verification Protocol and other related decision-support tools.
 

The principal elements of this international harmonization strategy are:
 

• Sharing of protocols and test methods
   
• Mutual recognition or accreditation of verification entities, and 
   
• Country-to-country reciprocity, where practical.
