Why G-Mark Certificate?

When exporting or selling products in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, manufacturers must ensure their goods meet the safety, quality, and environmental standards set by the Gulf Standardization Organization (GSO). The G-Mark Certificate (Gulf Conformity Mark) is a mandatory requirement for regulated products, assuring that they comply with GSO technical regulations and are safe for consumer use.

The G-Mark acts as a symbol of reliability and compliance, helping consumers identify safe and approved products. For manufacturers, it provides smooth market entry into all GCC nations, including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman.

What is G-Mark Certification?

G-Mark Certification is a conformity mark granted by the Gulf Standardization Organization (GSO) to products that meet the applicable GCC technical regulations. It confirms that a product has been tested, verified, and approved according to Gulf safety and performance standards.

Products that typically require G-Mark Certification include low-voltage electrical equipment, toys, and household appliances. The G-Mark label must be clearly displayed on the product and its packaging to confirm compliance before it can be marketed or imported into GCC countries.

Benefits of G-Mark Certification

• Legal authorization to sell products across all GCC member states.
• Demonstrates compliance with Gulf safety and performance standards.
• Builds consumer trust and brand credibility in Gulf markets.
• Minimizes risks of border rejections, penalties, or shipment delays.
• Simplifies customs clearance and product registration.

Process of G-Mark Certification

1. Product Classification – Identify if the product falls under the regulated GSO category.
2. Testing & Evaluation – Conduct testing as per GSO standards in an accredited laboratory.
3. Documentation Review – Prepare and submit test reports, risk assessments, and technical files.
4. Assessment by Notified Body – A GSO-approved body verifies the product’s compliance.
5. Issuance of G-Mark Certificate – Once approved, the G-Mark label is issued for use on the product and packaging.

The G-Mark Certification ensures your products meet Gulf regulatory, safety, and quality standards, allowing smooth trade and trusted access to GCC markets.
