1 BACKGROUND
1.1. In the context of the 7th Triennial Review completed in December 2015, the TBT Committee
requested the Secretariat to develop an online alert system for TBT notifications, in cooperation
with other organizations.1 In response, the WTO Secretariat joined forces with UNDESA and ITC for
the development and maintenance of a new SPS/TBT notification alert system called ePing.2 The
publicly available system was launched during the November 2016 meeting of the TBT Committee.
