The Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture  issued the Decision No. 101618 dated 
14 December 2016 (15/03/1438 AH) entitled "Temporary Ban of importation of Live Bird, Hatching 
Egg and One day Old Chick" originating from Hungary, due to the outbreak of Highly Pathogenic 
Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Hun gary. The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture has 
subsequently issued  the Decision No. 1439/1291/3 dated 25 September 2017 (05/01/1439 AH),

3. Notified under Article 2.9.2 [ X ], 2.10.1 [   ], 5.6.2 [   ], 5.7.1 [   ], other:   
4. Products covered (HS or CCCN where applicable, otherwise national tariff 
heading. ICS numbers may be provided in addition, where applicable): Solar 
technologies - Instantaneous or storage water heaters, non-electric (HS 84191) 
5. Title, number of pages and langua ge(s) of the notified document:  KS 2542:2014 
Off-grid Solar Photovoltaic Lighting Kits Requirements (12 pages, in English) 
6. Description of content: This draft standard applies to off-grid lighting appliances or kits 
that can be installed by a typical user without employing a technician. The kits are 
generally comprised of a light source (LED, CFL, or other), a rechargeable energy storage device (usually a battery), an energy generation device or source (PV module, 
dynamo, AC grid, unregulated DC input, or other), and internal electronics. Lighting 
appliances or kits with PV modules larger than 15 W (peak power under standard test conditions) are excluded from the scope of this standard.  
Comment to Stakeholders: The test methods in KS IEC/TS 62257-9-5 are designed for 
pico systems with small PV modules and batt eries. For the test methods no to be too 
costly, the methods exclude some procedures associated with module and battery evaluation which would be appropriate to in clude in larger systems. The test methods 
are not therefore recommended for use with solar modules with peak output larger than 
15 W (peak). The process for developing test methods for use with larger systems (up to 100 peak Watts) is on-going at international level. 
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where 
applicable: Performance requirement; Quality requirements  
8. Relevant documents:  
1. IEC/TS 62257-9-5

Article 12.8 of the Understanding on Rules a nd Procedures Governing the Settlement of 
Disputes (DSU) provides that the period in which a pa nel shall conduct its examination, from the date 
that the composition and terms of reference of the panel have been agreed upon until the date the final 
report is issued to the parties to the dispute,  shall, as a general rule, not exceed six months. 
  Article 12.9 of the DSU provides that, when a panel considers that it cannot issue its report within six months, it shall inform the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) in writing accordingly and 
indicate the reasons, together with an estimate of  the period within which it will issue its report. 
  The Panel on China – Definitive Anti-Dumping Duti es on X-Ray Security Inspection 
Equipment from the European Union (DS425) was established by the DSB on 20 January 2012 and 
composed on 12 March 2012.    
 The timetable adopted by the Panel after c onsultations with the Parties to the dispute 
envisaged that the final report would be issued to  the Parties by December 2012.  However, due to 
unavoidable scheduling conflicts pertaining to two panelists, the Panel now expects to conclude its 
work in January 2013.
