Draft of Egyptian Standard ES 494-2 "Tableware – Part 2: Requirements for stainless steel cutlery and silver-plated utensils". Language(s): Arabic. Number of pages: 28

This draft of Egyptian Standard ES 494-2 specifies material, performance requirements and test methods for table cutlery (knives, forks, spoons, carving sets, ladles, children's cutlery and other serving pieces).

This Standard is applicable to stainless steel cutlery and to silver-plated nickel silver, or silver-plated stainless steel, cutlery.

It does not cover cutlery made wholly of precious metals, aluminium, non stainless steel or made entirely of nickel silver, nor does it cover gold-plated or chromium-plated cutlery. Three minimum thicknesses of silver are specified for silver-plated cutlery.

Worth mentioning is that this draft standard is technically identical with ISO 8442-2/1997 (confirmed in 2019).
