Products covered: Toys (ICS: 97.200.50)
This addendum concerns the notification of the Ministerial Decree No. 223 /2021 (2 pages, in Arabic) that gives the producers and importers a six-month transitional period to abide by the Egyptian Standard ES 3123-1 "safety of toys – Part1: mechanical and physical properties" (180 pages, in Arabic).
This standard cancels and supersedes its last edition in 2017.
It should be noted that the draft of this Egyptian Standard was formerly notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/164/Add.3 dated 10 November 2020.
Worth mentioning is that this standard is technically identical with EN 71-1/2014+A1/2018.
Producers and importers are kept informed of any amendments in the Egyptian standards through the publication of administrative orders in the official gazette.
Proposed date of adoption: 20 May 2021.
Proposed date of entry into force: 14 June 2021.
