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 8117-1 "Child use and care articles – baby carriers – safety requirements and test methods - part1: framed back carriers" (27 pages, in English).
It should be noted that the Ministerial Decree No. 1307/2017 (2 pages, in Arabic) which was formerly notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/165/add.1 dated 21 February 2018, mandated among others the earlier version of this Egyptian standard.
Worth mentioning is that this standard adopts the technical content of EN 13209-1/2004.
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: 4 December 2020.
Proposed date of entry into force: 15 January 2021.
