The Gulf Conformity Mark (G-Mark) is a mandatory requirement for low voltage electrical equipment (LVE) and children’s toys that are being imported or sold in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states consisting of:

• United Arab Emirates
• Kingdom of Bahrain
• Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
• Sultanate of Oman
• State of Qatar
• State of Kuwait

The G-Mark regulations are also recognized in the Republic of Yemen, despite it not being a GCC member state. The G-Mark demonstrates that a product conforms to the Technical Regulation and applicable standards of the region and is therefore safe for consumers to use. All products governed by a Gulf Technical Regulation are required to display a GSO Conformity Tracking Symbol (GCTS) which consists of the G-Mark and a QR Code.
