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 7650 for "General standard for fruit juices and nectars" (21 pages, Arabic) .
It should be noted that Ministerial Decree No. 135/2014 which was formerly notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/60 dated 6 May 2014 mandated among others the earlier version of this Egyptian Standard and the extension of the transitional period provided to comply with ES 7650/2013 has been notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/60/Add.1 dated 25 August 2015.
Worth mentioning is that this standard is technically identical with Codex Standard No.247/2005 Adopted in 2005. Amended in 2022.
Producers and importers are kept informed of any amendments in the Egyptian standard through the publication of administrative orders in the official gazette.
Proposed date of adoption: 7 September 2024.
Proposed date of entry into force: 3 October 2024.
