eping alert system
update by the secretariat
This
document, prepared by the WTO Secretariat, provides an update on ePing
to the SPS and the TBT Committees.
_______________
1. ePing,
the SPS/TBT notification alert system was launched in November 2016 by the WTO,
UNDESA and ITC. Once registered, users receive emails alerts containing
notifications that match their filter criteria (such as products or markets of
interest). For example, an SPS or TBT Enquiry Point may prefer to receive all
SPS or TBT notifications while an exporter of toys may only wish to be alerted
to notifications affecting toys. ePing also facilitates tracking the full cycle
of a notification as any addenda or revisions to a notification of interest are
included in subsequent alerts.
