Israel - Revisionof the Mandatory Standard SI 907 part 2 dealing with domestic gas appliances.

Israel WTO-TBT Enquiry Point has issued notification on revision of the Mandatory Standard SI 907 part 2 dealing with domestic gas appliances. This draft standard revision adopts the European Standard EN 30‑1-2: 2008. The major differences between the old version and this new revised draft standard are as follow:

·                Extends the list of appliances which are not included in this standard's scope (paragraph 1)

·                Amends the list of normative references (paragraph 2)

·                Adds a new warning to the instruction for use and maintenance (paragraph 8.3.3)

Both the old standard and the new revised standard will apply for a period of 12 months after publication in Israel Official Gazette. During this time domestic gas appliances could be tested according to both editions.

Proposed date of adoption: To be determined
