The Ministerial Decree No. 196 /2023(2 pages, in Arabic) gives the producers and importers a six -month transitional period to abide by the Egyptian standard ES 4911 which specifies requirements for lighters to ensure a reasonable degree of safety for normal use or reasonably foreseeable misuse of such lighters by users. It applies to all flame-producing products commonly known as cigarette lighters, cigar lighters and pipe lighters.
It does not apply to matches and flame-producing products intended solely for igniting materials other than cigarettes, cigars, and pipes.
Worth mentioning is that this standard is technically identical with ISO 9994:2018.
