In international trade, technical regulations and industry standards are vary in every country, which is a compulsory and being enforced against products that circulated by one - each through its domestic law and cause difficulties for exporters and importers. The Technical Barriers To Trade (TBT) Agreement is one of the harmonization mechanisms delivered by World Trade Organization (WTO) to the international economic sphere that seeks to balance these competing interests – acknowledging but disciplining contracting parties’ regulatory control over traded goods. The aim of this research is to know how the TBT Agreement become one of the harmonization mechanisms in international economic standardization by using a normative legal research that examines the WTO rules related to technical regulations and conduct an examination of Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) decisions related to the implementation of TBT Agreement. This study found that the TBT Agreement has a collective and bilateral binding force for the contracting parties of WTO. With this flexibility and the provision of special treatment for developing countries that reflects the harmonization mechanism offered by it, and the existence of the reciprocity principle which was transformed into the character of the WTO as a Reciprocal Concession Law, which is believed to be the principle that motivates each country to implement all WTO Agreements, including the TBT Agreement, the research concluded that TBT Agreement deserves to be an effective reference rules in the field of international economic standardization.
