• Product Testing: Your product will go through testing in qualified laboratories to confirm it complies with the significant safety and quality standards of the GCC countries.
• Evaluation and Review: The certification body examines the test results and equates them against the applicable standards. Any inconsistencies or issues are addressed before proceeding.
• Issuance of Gulf Mark Certificate: After passing the assessment, Gulf Mark certification is granted, allowing the product to be legally marketed in GCC countries.
