§ 2532
1 See References in Text note below.
(b) Unnecessary obstacles
Nothing in this subchapter may be construed
as prohibiting any private person, Federal agen-
cy, or State agency from engaging in standards-
related activities that do not create unnecessary
obstacles to the foreign commerce of the United
States. No standards-related activity of any pri-
vate person, Federal agency, or State agency
shall be deemed to constitute an unnecessary
obstacle to the foreign commerce of the United
States if the demonstrable purpose of the stand-
ards-related activity is to achieve a legitimate
domestic objective including, but not limited to,
the protection of legitimate health or safety, es-
sential security, environmental, or consumer in-
terests and if such activity does not operate to
exclude imported products which fully meet the
objectives of such activity.
