Wool Industry EDP User Group

The Wool Industry EDP User Group (WIEDPUG) is a technical forum for the development and implementation of data and document standards for electronic communication of wool industry data through the Industry EDI Networks.  It progresses its recommendations by consensus, relying upon the merit of proposals and the perceptible benefits flowing from essential standardisation.  Changes to data exchange standards are considered on referral from recognised industry organisations.
