The ASEAN Committee on Consumer Protection (ACCP) was established in 2007 by the ASEAN Economic Ministers in 2007 and is comprised of representatives of consumer protection agencies of AMS. Some of the main task of the ACCP are as follows:

• To promote the exchange of information and experience on consumer protection policies and laws and practices among and between AMS;
• Encourage the development and implementation of effective consumer protection laws and policies;
• Empower ASEAN consumers through the provision of accurate information through online knowledge centers; and
• Hold regular stakeholder engagements or consultations.

The ACAN was established in 2018 to bring together national consumer associations of ASEAN to discuss and exchange views on best practices and experiences on the challenges and management of consumer protection issues.  Regular consultations are held between the ACCP and the ACAN as its main task are as follows:

• provide support to the implementation of the ASEAN Strategic Action Plan on Consumer Protection by giving feedback and recommendations; and
• provide information on cross-border consumer complaints.

The ACCP holds two meetings usually.  Traditionally the first would be held in the 2^nd Quarter and the second in the 4^th Quarter. The consultation between the ACCP and ACAN would be held on the side lines of the 2^nd ACCP meeting for that year.

The current Chair for the ACCP is Ms Rasamee Vistaveth, Chair of the Sub-Committee on Consumer Protection Strategy against ASEAN Mission.
