This addendum concerns the notification of the Ministerial Decree No. 209/2026 (2 pages, in Arabic) that gives the producers and importers a six-month transitional period to abide by the Egyptian standard ES 1589 for “General standard for bottled/ packaged drinking waters (other than natural mineral waters)” (partial amendment in 1 page, in Arabic).

It should be noted that Ministerial Decree No. 503 /2023 (2 pages in Arabic) which was formerly notified in G/SPS/N/EGY/144, dated 4 April 2024, mandated among others the earlier versions of this Egyptian Standard.

Worth mentioning is that this standard is technically identical with modification with Codex standard CXS 227-2001, adopted in 2001, amended in 2019.

It is worth noting that this standard has been partially modified as follows:

  • Item No.3/4/1/5 Radiation Properties "test" (Alpha activity(α)) The maximum Permissible limit (Bq/l) to be (0.5).

Producers and importers are kept informed of any amendments in the Egyptian Standard through the publication of administrative orders in the official gazette.

Date of entry into force: The day following the date of publication in the official gazette.
