The Ministerial Decree No. 502 /2023 gives the producers and importers a six-month transitional period to abide by the Egyptian standard ES 8688 which specifies safety requirements for electrically operated commercial refrigerating appliances and ice-makers that have an incorporated motor compressor or that are supplied in two units for assembly as a single appliance in accordance with the instructions (split system).
Worth mentioning is that this standard is technically identical with IEC 60335-2-89:2019
Commercial refrigerating appliances (ICS code(s): 97.130.20)
