"This standard specifies the terms and definitions, technical requirements, test methods, packaging, identification, instructions, storage and transportation of electronic cigarette," the filing said.

The technical standards were set out in a 68-page attachment in Chinese, available at https://members.wto.org/crnattachments/2019/TBT/CHN/19_2560_00_x.pdf
