of flexible or solid driver -conductor cables and that, in this period, these cables with 
characteristics not covered by the requirements currently approved were developed, it 
was veri fied the need to update the current documents in order to monitor technological 
developments and avoid obstacles to use in the country of products covered by new G/TBT/N/BRA/1304
