Products covered: (ICS 71.060) Inorganic chemicals
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 273-3 for " sodium chloride- part: 3 -analytical reagent- requirements and test methods " (22 pages, in Arabic).
It should be noted that the Ministerial Decree No. 423/2005 (25 pages, in Arabic) which was formerly notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/3 dated 14 December 2005 mandated among others the earlier version of this Standard and the draft of this standard was formerly notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/3/Add.61 dated 13 October 2023.
Worth mentioning is that standard is technically identical with IS 4408 / 1979 (Reaffirmed 2010)
Producers and importers are kept informed of any amendments in the Egyptian standards through the publication of administrative orders in the official gazette.
