Digitise and automate, then show the proof

Egypt Vision 2030 includes digital transformation and more efficient operations. Tag’n’Track is the platform that digitises and automates the work behind that: asset and stock registers, receiving and dispatch, maintenance checks, document custody and workforce access, all on one live record. Below are the rules and standards that matter most in Egypt, and how the platform helps you meet and show them.

Rules and standards, and how we help

1. National vision and digital programme

The rule: Egypt Vision 2030, launched in 2016, includes digital transformation. The Digital Egypt platform is bringing government services online.

How Tag’n’Track helps: One live record of assets, stock, files and people, with scan-based counts and approvals, so digital transformation reaches the shop floor and the store room.

2. E-invoicing

The rule: The Egyptian Tax Authority runs a phased, mandatory e-invoice system for VAT-registered businesses, where the authority validates invoices before they reach the customer. A separate e-receipt system covers sales to consumers.

How Tag’n’Track helps: Your ERP or invoicing system issues the e-invoice. Tag’n’Track gives it accurate, live stock and asset data, so what you invoice matches what you hold.

3. Radio equipment approval

The rule: The National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) must approve telecom and radio equipment before it is imported or used. Approval needs test evidence, such as an EU or FCC report.

How Tag’n’Track helps: We confirm the approval status of readers and tags before they are ordered, so hardware is cleared before it ships.

4. Personal data

The rule: Law No. 151 of 2020 sets rules for personal data. Executive regulations were issued in November 2025 and set up the Personal Data Protection Centre, and reports say organisations have about a year to comply.

How Tag’n’Track helps: You decide what is collected, and attendance, visitor and access data can stay on infrastructure you choose. Your legal team confirms the transfer rules.

5. Medical devices

The rule: The Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) requires a Unique Device Identifier (UDI) for medical devices. It issued a revised UDI guideline in May 2026.

How Tag’n’Track helps: Link each device’s identifier to its room, owner, maintenance and audit trail, so clinical engineering can show where equipment is and what was done to it.

6. International standards

The rule: Many organisations in the region also work to ISO 55001 (asset management), ISO/IEC 27001 (information security) and the ISO/IEC 18000-63 (EPC Gen2) standard for UHF RFID.

How Tag’n’Track helps: Tag’n’Track provides the asset records, history and standard-based tracking these frameworks rely on. Certification stays with you and your auditor.
