This addendum concerns the notification of the Ministerial Decree No. 561/2022 (2 pages, in Arabic) that gives the producers and importers a six-month transitional period to abide by the Egyptian Standard ES 4756-2 "Cement - Part 2: Assessment and verification of constancy of performance" (26 pages, in Arabic).
It should be noted that the Ministerial Decree No. 609 /2020 (3 pages, in Arabic) which was formerly notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/3/Add.42 dated 30 March 2021 mandated among others the earlier version of this Egyptian standard.
Worth mentioning is that this standard is technically identical with EN 197-2/2020.
This standard cancels and replaces its last version adopted in 2020.
Producers and importers are kept informed of any amendments in the Egyptian standard through the publication of administrative orders in the official gazette.
Proposed date of adoption: 17 November 2022
Proposed date of entry into force: 6 December 2022.
