This addendum concerns the notification of the Ministerial Decree No.142/2024 (2 pages, in Arabic) that gives the producers and importers a six-month transitional period to abide by the Egyptian Standard ES 6910 for "Labelling of Detergents and Cleaning Products" (35 pages, in Arabic)

Worth mentioning is that this standard complies with the following:

- Commission decision (EU) 2017/1218 on EU Ecolabel criteria for laundry detergents
- Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 - Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).
