G Mark Certification

The G Mark (Gulf Mark) is a regional conformity certification administered by GSO (GCC Standardization Organization), required for low-voltage electrical equipment sold across Gulf Cooperation Council countries, confirming safety and EMC compliance.

G Mark exists to give GCC member states a single, unified conformity scheme for regulated electrical products, so a manufacturer certifies once rather than pursuing separate national approvals across UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the other member countries individually — while ensuring the underlying safety and EMC standards are genuinely met.

G Mark applies specifically to low-voltage electrical equipment — a defined category under GSO technical regulations — so the first step is confirming your product actually falls within scope rather than a related but differently-regulated category. Products outside G Mark's defined scope may still need other country-specific approvals within the Gulf, so scope confirmation avoids assuming one certification covers everything.

Certification is issued by an accredited conformity assessment body recognised under the GSO framework, and typically involves both product testing against the relevant GSO standard and a review of the manufacturer's quality management practices — meaning the process looks at both the specific product and the consistency of how it's produced.
