Products covered ICS: 77.140.15 (Steels for reinforcement of concrete), ICS: 91.080.40 (Concrete structures).
This addendum concerns the notification of the Ministerial Decree No. 246 /2025 (5 pages, in Arabic) that gives the producers and importers a twelve-month transitional period to abide by the Egyptian Standard ES 262-3 "steel for the reinforcement of concrete - part 3: welded fabric"(17 pages, in Arabic).
It should be noted that the Ministerial Decree No. 535/2015 (2 pages, in Arabic) which was formerly notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/99 dated 24 September 2015, mandated among others the earlier version of this Egyptian Standard, and the draft of this standard was formerly notified in G/TBT/N/EGY/99/Add.1 dated 9 October 2024.
Worth mentioning is that this standard is technically identical with ISO 6935-3/2023.
Producers and importers are kept informed of any amendments in the Egyptian standards through the publication of administrative orders in the official gazette.
Proposed date of adoption: 11 August 2025
Proposed date of entry into force: The day following the date of publication in the official gazette
