About FDA
Percentage of World Trade Organizations (WTO) SPS notifications commented on within 15 days of date assigned
Dictionary: CVM actively participates in the review of animal drug and feed and food related SPS notifications. Notifications are received by the IPT, which then triages the documents and forwards the information on to the respective experts within the center. Typically, the documents are reviewed to determine if proposed SPS standards are consistent with existing international standards, such as CODEX Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs), or that they appear to be appropriate science-based measures to protect human and animal health.
Information is current as of February 28, 2013.
