Products covered: (ICS 43.060.40) Fuel systems, (ICS 23.020.35) Gas cylinders.
This addendum concerns the notification of the Ministerial Decree No. 609 /2020 ( 3 pages, in Arabic) that gives the producers and importers a six-month transitional period to abide by the Egyptian Standard ES 3603 "Gas cylinders — High pressure cylinders for the on-board storage of natural gas as a fuel for automotive vehicles" (91 pages, in Arabic).
It should be noted that the draft of this Egyptian standard was formerly notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/3/Add.37 dated 5 October 2020.

Proposed date of adoption: 4 December 2020.
