Israel –New standards SI 1295 for Dried or semi-dried fruits

To protect of human health or safety, Israel WTO-TBT Enquiry Point has issued notification on revision of the Mandatory Standards SI 1075, SI 1130, SI 1295 and SI 1312, to be replaced with SI 1295, dealing with dried or semi-dried fruits, such as raisins, plums, figs and other dried fruits in general but excludes dates. The major differences between the old version and this new revised draft standard are as follow:

  • Adds references to Israel's Public Health Regulations (Food) (Food additives) and does not provide the detailed list in the standard (paragraph 2.2.2)
  • Adds a requirement that the maximum heavy metals content will comply with the Israel's MOH relevant document (paragraph 2.3.1) and that the pesticide residues will comply with MOH relevant regulations (paragraph 2.3.2)
  • Adds a new requirement to mark the water content in hydrated fruits (paragraph 2.6)
  • Adds new marking requirements for water content and for the maximum free water activity allowed (paragraph 3.1)
  • Provides a list of defects allowed in raisins, dried figs and dried plums (paragraph 3.3)
  • Changes the microbiological requirements (paragraph 3.4)

Both the old standards and this new revised standard will apply for a period of 1 year from publication in Israel Official Gazette. During this time products may be tested according to the old or the new revised standards.

Final date for comments: 60 days from notification
