      ASEAN Sectoral MRA is established with the aim that Member States to recognise or accept the results of the conformity assessment procedures which have been issued in accordance with the provisions in the respective Sectoral MRAs. In the context of ASEAN, the MRAs are concluded at the Government-to Government level. Currently, 5 MRAs have been signed under the purview of ASEAN Consultative Committee for Standards and Quality (ACCSQ).

      • ASEAN Sectoral MRA for Electrical and Electronic Equipment (2002)
      • ASEAN Sectoral MRA for GMP Inspection of Manufacturers for Medicinal Products (2009)
      • ASEAN MRA on Bio-Equivalence (BE) Study Report (2017)
      • MRA on Inspection and Certification System on Food Hygiene for Prepared Foodstuff (2018)
      • MRA on Type Approval for Automotive Products (202I)

      Harmonisation of Regulatory Regimes address trade barriers that arise from differences in standards and conformity assessment requirements and from differences in regulatory and administrative procedures. Harmonised Regulatory Regimes are thus appropriate instruments for a more comprehensive and deeper market integration.

      Three harmonised regulatory regimes that have been developed by ACCSQ's Product WGs are:

      • Agreement on the ASEAN Harmonised Cosmetic Regulatory Scheme, Schedule B: ASEAN Cosmetic Directive (ACD) (2003)
      • Agreement on the ASEAN Harmonized Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) Regulatory Regime (AHEEERR) (2005)
      • ASEAN Agreement on Medical Device Directive (AMDD) (2014)
    • Specific MRA
      APEC-TEL MRA / US FCC For EMC Testing (2017) US EPA for Chemical (Formaldehyde) Testing (2019)
      US FCC recognise EMC test report issue by SAMM accredited lab US EPA recognise test report issue by SAMM accredited lab (for formaldehyde testing)
