Products covered: (ICS code(s): 13.220.10) Fire-fighting
This addendum concerns the notification of the Ministerial Decree No.444/2024 (1 pages, in Arabic) that gives the producers and importers a six-month transitional period to abide by the Egyptian Standard ES 695-1 for "carbon dioxide as fire extinguishing media for fire protection - specification" (23 page(s), in Arabic)
It should be noted that 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.74 dated 2 May 2024.
Worth mentioning is that this standard is technically identical with IS 15222/2002 (Reaffirmed 2017).
Producers and importers are kept informed of any amendments in the Egyptian standards through the publication of administrative orders in the official gazette.
