Products covered: ICS 67.200.10 (Animal and vegetable fats and oils)
This addendum concerns the notification of the Ministerial Decree No.447 /2024 (2 pages, in Arabic) that gives the producers and importers a six-month transitional period to abide by the Egyptian Standard ES 1471 for “named animal fats” (11 pages, in Arabic).
It should be noted that Ministerial Decree No. 515 /2005 (10 pages, in Arabic) which was formerly notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/2 dated 14 December 2005, mandated among others the earlier version of this Egyptian Standard.
Worth mentioning is that this standard is technically identical with CXS 211-1999 Adopted in 1999. Amended in 2009, 2013, 2015, 2019, 2021.
Producers and importers are kept informed of any amendments in the Egyptian standards through the publication of administrative orders in the official gazette.
