This addendum concerns the notification of the Ministerial Decree No. 222/2021 (1 page, in Arabic) that gives the producers and importers a six-month transitional period to abide by the Egyptian Standard ES 8335 "Unrefined Shea Butter" (partial amendment, 1 page in Arabic).
It should be noted that the Ministerial Decree No. 608/2020(2 page, in Arabic) which was formerly notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/282 dated 30 March 2021 mandated among others the earlier version of this Standard.
Worth mentioning is that this standard is technically identical with CXS 325R-2017 Adopted in 2017. Amended in 2020.
Producers and importers are kept informed of any amendments in the Egyptian standards through the publication of administrative orders in the official gazette.
A Proposed date of adoption: 20 May 2021.
