The GC logo certification standard has been updated, please pay attention to exporting to Gulf count

      The GC logo certification certificate serves as an entry certificate for products entering the markets of the seven Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen), and its certification adopts the latest versions of GSO/IEC/EN and other standards. When the standard version is updated, the transition period for the old version of the standard is 2 years. After the transition period ends, the GC logo certification will force the adoption of the latest version of the standard. After the release of the new standard, certificates obtained based on the old version must be updated before the mandatory implementation date of the new standard, otherwise the certificate will be suspended or revoked. The following table shows the release time and mandatory implementation dates of the new version of the GC logo certification standard.
