6. Description of content: Ministerial Decree No.1002/2017 gives the producers and 
importers a transitional period of six months to abide by the Egyptian standard ES 8030 
referred to parts. It establishes test procedures for measuring the performance of full -flow 
lubricating oil filters for internal combustion engines. It has been prepared in separa te 
parts, each part relating to a particular performance characteristics.  
Together the tests provide the information necessary to assess the characteristics of a 
filters This standard supersedes the flowing Egyptian standards No:
