International

Targeted global advocacy efforts on policy, product standards, and certification.

Through its International Regulatory Information Services (IRIS), AHRI tracks both current and proposed regulatory and legislative changes in the international landscape, interaction with foreign trade associations on priority policy issues, participation in trade shows, and meetings with foreign senior government officials to promote its standards and certification programs.

World Trade Organization Notices 

Due to the global proliferation of minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) and their impact on AHRI member companies, AHRI provides a list of web links leading to regulatory resources, typically government websites responsible for industry regulations, and a listing of government notices for proposed new regulations or amendments to current regulations. The listing of notices, usually originating from a World Trade Organization (WTO) notification system, is country-specific, covering regulations such as MEPS, labeling requirements, test methods, enforcement, and more.
