Chinese exporters explored G-Mark and SQM requirements through a dedicated Cotecna compliance webinar.
Cotecna successfully hosted a VOC GCC Webinar on 29 July, bringing together Chinese manufacturers and exporters seeking to better understand certification requirements for Saudi Arabia and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets.
Delivered in Chinese by Dolphin PAN, Senior VOC Account Manager at Cotecna China, the online session provided practical guidance on key conformity assessment requirements and market access procedures for exporters operating in the region.
The webinar focused on two important certification schemes:
G-Mark (Gulf Conformity Mark), applicable across GCC member states
Saudi Quality Mark (SQM), one of Saudi Arabia's key product certification schemes
Participants gained insights into certification requirements, including type testing, factory audits, post-certification surveillance, customs clearance considerations, and common trade compliance challenges.
The session also highlighted how manufacturers can prepare for certification processes more effectively and reduce the risk of delays when exporting regulated products to GCC markets.
The interactive Q&A session generated strong engagement, with attendees raising questions related to product testing, factory assessments, certificate maintenance, and ongoing compliance obligations.
As regulatory requirements continue to evolve across the region, understanding certification expectations remains essential for businesses seeking efficient and compliant access to Middle Eastern markets.
Through webinars and technical knowledge-sharing initiatives, Cotecna continues to provide practical support to exporters, helping them navigate regulatory requirements and build confidence when expanding internationally.
