SPS HANDBOOK TRAINING MODULE: CHAPTER 1
Establishing an SPS notification authority and enquiry point
When your country’s notification authority or enquiry point has been established, you should inform the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ of this. The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ Secretariat should also be informed if the notification authority or enquiry point is changed. The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ Secretariat regularly circulates a list of all Members’ notification authorities and enquiry points. This list is updated three or four times a year. The enquiry points are listed in the G/SPS/ENQ/ document series of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ, and the notification authorities are listed in the G/SPS/NNA/ series. Box 2 below contains some examples. To be included in this list, it is useful to provide the following information.
- Contact name
- Name of institution
- Postal address / Physical address
