The v13 release is not just a release either, it is also our official announcement of participation in the annual #hacktoberfest. 💻🥨
We know that we're a few days late to the party, but v13 had to get ready before. 😉
This year, the fest is opt-in for projects and we definitely want to opt into taking part in this great event! If you ever thought about starting coding or giving back to your favourite open source repositories, now is the time! Head over to the hacktoberfest website to learn more about it.
We already prepared some issues on our repositories and aim towards opening more issues for starters, but feel free to begin a hunt for improvements and fixes by yourself!

Navigating #Ethiopia’s #PVoC Requirements: TÜV Rheinland Supports Exporters for Smooth Market Access
As Ethiopia continues strengthening its quality infrastructure and import control framework, exporters shipping regulated products to the country are reminded of the importance of complying with the Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) program prior to shipment.
The PVoC program, overseen by the Ethiopian Conformity Assessment Enterprise under the Ministry of Trade and Regional Integration (#MoTRI), requires regulated products to undergo conformity assessment procedures before export to Ethiopia.
A Certificate of Conformity (#CoC) must be issued to ensure smooth customs clearance and prevent delays at the port of entry.
For exporters, understanding the applicable certification route, documentation requirements, and product scope is critical to avoiding unnecessary costs, shipment holds, or re-exports.

#TÜV_Rheinland Further Strengthens Role in PVoC Sector, Becoming a Strategic Authorized Body for Inspection and Certification under ECAE - #MOTRI
Agreement signed on 3rd December 2025 strengthens safe, compliant market access to Ethiopia
Addis Abeba, 3rd December 2025 TÜV Rheinland announced it has signed a new contract with the #Ethiopian Conformity Assessment Enterprise (#ECAE), under the Ministry of Trade and Regional Integration (#MoTRI), authorizing TÜV Rheinland to conduct inspections, testing (where applicable), and issue Certificates of Conformity (#CoC) for regulated products exported to Ethiopia under the country’s Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (#PVoC) program.
The PVoC framework helps protect consumers and the environment from unsafe or substandard imports and streamlines customs clearance by ensuring regulated products comply with Ethiopia’s national standards before shipment.
“This partnership reflects a shared commitment to safety, quality, and fair trade,” said Mr. Fares Naouri, Senior Vice President Government Inspections and International Trade (#GIIT) - TÜV Rheinland. “With our global laboratory network and experienced technical teams, exporters and importers alike can rely on efficient and transparent conformity assessment services.”
Under the agreement, TÜV Rheinland is authorized to assess technical documentation, perform consignment & factory inspections, and conduct laboratory tests. The certificate of Conformity (COC) is issued as a confirmation of successful completion of the compliance verification procedure.
