What the notification says

Latest notice (⁨G/TBT/N/ISR/1336/Add.1⁩, 7 January 2026)

The latest notice says the measure has entered into force.

SI 2560 - Welding consumables — Covered electrodes for manual metal arc welding of non-alloy and fine grain steels — Classification

The requirements of the Israeli Mandatory Standard SI 2560 on welding consumables are declared voluntary. This declaration was published in Israel's Official Gazette, Section of Government Notices, no. 12191, and came into effect immediately.

The existing Mandatory Standard SI 2560 shall be declared voluntary. The standard deals with electrodes for arc welding, a professional industry product used by professionals. The standard's requirements do not ensure welding quality, welder safety, or workplace safety and, therefore, do not coincide with the mandatory standardization goals. This declaration aims to remove unnecessary trade obstacles and lower trade barriers.
