Products covered: ICS 81.040.20 (Glass in building)
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 353-4 "Glass in building - Basic soda lime silicate glass products – Part 4: patterned glass" (15 pages, in Arabic).
It should be noted that the Ministerial Decree No. 423/2005 (25 pages, in Arabic) which was formerly notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/3 dated 14 December 2005 mandated among others the earlier version of this Egyptian Standard and its draft was formerly notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/3/Add.30 dated 5 March 2020.
Worth mentioning is that this standard is technically identical with EN 572-5/2012
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.
Proposed date of entry into force: 14 June 2021.
