In 2013, the Myanmar Scientific and Technological Research Department (MSTRD) and the
Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) convened a meeting to develop the Standard
Procedures and Proposed Regulations governing the Establishment of Myanmar National
Standards. This meeting resulted in the formation of 19 local technical sub-committees,
under which the Environmental Conservation Department (ECD), MOECAF will have to
organize a core unit responsible for the establishment of environmental quality standards
including air quality standards.
