SABERSAUDI will assist you with evaluating technical requirements and preparation of documentation and provide the risk analysis for products such as household utilities, plugs, socket outlets, chargers and other similar products.
Low Electrical Appliances are categorized in the two categories:
Manufacturers of List 1 products must have a system in place—typically a factory quality control system—in order to ensure products are being manufactured and assembled in a controlled manner. This includes production line testing to confirm the product quality and integrity so as to maintain conformity within the design intent.
Once all these elements have been completed the manufacturer can affix the proper G Marking on the product and draw up a written Declaration of Conformity.
Manufacturers must choose a single Notified Body (NB) entity, to examine the technical design of a product and verify that it meets the requirements of the applicable Gulf Technical Regulations. This will help the issuance of an evaluation report with a Gulf Type Examination Certificate.
The Notified Body must also ensure the manufacturing has a production quality system implemented in order to confirm that the product is being manufactured in accordance to the technical specifications.
The product manufacturer still must create a technical construction file for each model of product, and this documentation must include a risk analysis / assessment report and test reports, among the other additional documentation requirements noted for List 1 products, but with the inclusion of the Notified Body’s issued evaluation report with Type Examination Certificate.
Product categories within List 2 are primarily in the area of IEC 60335 (Home Appliances), such as:
Partner with SABERSAUDI to bring safe and compliant toys to the GCC countries. We have Notified Bodies and laboratories approved by the GCC Standardization Organization (GSO) to test and certify toys against the legislative requirements for qualification of the G-Mark.
Our experts can help you to carry the necessary sampling, testing and certification efficiently and professionally.
►Provide end to end technical support to follow the processes and procedures of GSO to apply the Gmark.
►Testing of the toy from recognized and permitted laboratories in accordance with GSO specified standards.
►Completion of the Manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity.
►Technical assessment and evaluation of existing/available product information.
►Manufacturing/production facilities inspection

It is a harmonized compliance scheme that facilitates the movement of low voltage equipment and devices to the GCC member countries by eliminating technical barriers and unifying customs requirements. This establishes a common market scheme that guarantees quality and safety for consumers.
GSO Technical Regulations require suppliers of certain goods to go through checks on their products to see if they are “fit” for the Gulf countries’ common market, meaning they are safe to use and of good quality.
These check procedures make up the “Conformity Assessment” and require the manufacturer to involve independent third-party organizations to determine if their products meet the Gulf standards.
The Notified Body must also ensure the manufacturing has a production quality system implemented in order to confirm that the product is being manufactured in accordance to the technical specifications.
No, the GSO database currently only generates the tracking symbol to be used by the NBs on their certificates. Therefore at this moment manufacturers have to design the GCTS according to the rules and dimensional requirements in the guideline.

SABERSAUDI can support manufacturers with preparation of compliant artwork designs of the regulatory markings required by legislation.
The QR code is contained in the tracking symbol on the certificate which can be obtained from the Notified Body.
The GCC Conformity Marking (or in short: “G-mark”) can be downloaded as high-resolution image from the GSO website in the section “Home » Activities » Conformity » Regulatory System » GC Marking”.
