What is G-Mark Certification?
The G-mark is a mandatory conformity mark for certain low voltage electrical equipment and appliances exported to the GCC member states, which include the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, and Yemen.
G-mark certification ensures that products meet the safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements set by the Gulf Standardization Organization (GSO). The G-mark signifies compliance and is crucial for legally selling your products in these markets. The scheme ensures the regulated products imported into GCC member states fulfil the GCC technical regulation and applicable health, safety and environmental requirements. Products that conform to these regulations and requirements will be granted a GSO Conformity Tracking Symbol (GCTS) by the GSO, which must be displayed on the main product and the packaging.
How can HQTS Help?
HQTS makes the G-mark certification process seamless and stress-free. Our approach is designed to save you time and money, while also ensuring your products meet all the necessary standards. Here’s how it works stage-by-stage:

Stage two: Testing at Our GCC-Accredited Laboratory
Our GCC-accredited testing laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to perform all required safety and EMC tests.

Stage three: Technical File Compilation and Declaration of Conformity
We’ll assist you in preparing and compiling the comprehensive Technical File, a critical document that contains all relevant information about your product, including design drawings, schematics, test reports, and risk assessments.
Additionally, we can help you draft an official Declaration of Conformity (DoC), which is a legally binding document in which the manufacturer declares that the product complies with all applicable GSO technical regulations.
Stage four: Ongoing Support and Renewal
G-mark certification requires periodic review and, in some cases, renewal. We offer ongoing support to ensure your products remain compliant with any updates to GSO regulations and assist with the renewal process when the time comes.
