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.
