History

2000

Version 1

Since eCERT version 1 was launched in 2000, we have worked together to develop and improve the service, based on feedback from both Chambers of Commerce and exporting organisations who use the service.

2008

Version 3 and 4

Version 3 of eCERT introduced the eXpress service, a same day service using electronic stamps and signatures to allow exporters to print their approved documents. Version 4, launched on 1st July 2008, extended the service to include EUR and A.TR documents.

2010

Version 5

A completely new look was given to Version 5 to help first time users get started quickly, and the introduction of eCERT World helped to improve communication between chambers and their exporters.

2011

Version 6

The 6th version of eCERT, further simplifies the process of applying for certified documents and helps exporters get it right first time. The eCERT portal, through which eCERT is accessed, enables users to access training material and find out about eCERT, and to interact with other users of eCERT via a forum, to share best practice and obtain support and advice if needed

2026

Version 8

In 2026, we introduced Version 8 which improved the system inside and out. We improved the user interface, made it more secure and maintained the system to be fast and efficient. In this update, we also introduced the eATA Carnet - this allows the exporter to submit and use Digital Carnets.
