SDO Challenges
Current economic conditions
With Market Convergence – also see the need
to:
strengthen existing cooperation agreements and
consider increased joint cooperation with other
organizations in developing standards, conformity
assessment, and related areas.
More companies are restricting travel, thus
TIA is exploring supplemental virtual
