Regulatory Alerts: Keep track of product requirements in foreign markets

A free website ‘ePing’ is now available providing businesses and governments with up to date information on regulations affecting export markets around the world. ePing allows users to search all World Trade Organization (WTO) notifications relating to product requirements and standards.

The website notifies users of non-tariff measures impacting Australian exporters, namely:

Searching alerts

Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures, which include import, inspection, certification, audit and testing requirements relating to food safety and
Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) measures, which include requirements such as labeling, registration, product composition, testing and quality assurance (beyond SPS).

Subscribing to alerts

The ECA recommends that all companies that are impacted by any of the above issues, should subscribe to ePing email alerts tailored to TBT and SPS measures relevant to their industry and markets.

Member of the ECA

"In 2014 Vekta Automation became involved in the Export Awards and started to get a better understanding about the role of the Export Council of Australia. After attending a seminar in Perth in February 2019 the decision was instantly made and we signed up the next day. A decision we should have made 5 years earlier. For Vekta, the information, expertise and networking opportunities that the ECA provides has been valuable. It is reassuring knowing that there are experienced and knowledgeable people we can turn to when advice is needed."
