Technical Guidance Notes

The EMCTLA has written a large number of Technical Guidance Notes however only those that retain relevance are published on this website. Many were originally created for the old EMCD 89/336 and are not relevant to 2004/108.

Members of the Association request guidance from the appropriate panel via the Secretary of the Working Group. The panel considers the request, together with any additional information and reports to the Secretary any guidance to be given. The panels' recommendations are distributed to members.

The Technical Guidance Notes, once published, are sent to the European Commission via the ECANB.
