How Cotecna Supports Manufacturers and Exporters with Conformity Assessment for the Omani Market.
To protect consumers and uphold product quality standards, the Sultanate of Oman has implemented a mandatory regulation for Low Voltage Electrical Equipment (LVE) under the authority of the Directorate General for Standards and Metrology (DGSM).
This regulation applies to a wide range of household and commercial electrical appliances, including but not limited to:
- Washing machines
- Dishwashers
- Vacuum cleaners
Manufacturers and exporters must demonstrate compliance with applicable standards before gaining access to the Omani market.
To ensure smooth customs clearance and market entry, regulated products must obtain a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) issued by an authorized notified body like Cotecna. This certificate confirms that the product:
- Complies with Omani technical regulations
- Has undergone testing in accredited laboratories, if required
- It is safe for use in the local environment
Cotecna is officially recognized by DGSM to issue CoC for LVE products. We support exporters and manufacturers by providing:
- Document Review: Evaluation of technical documentation, datasheets, and test reports
- Testing Coordination: Assistance with lab testing through ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories, when necessary
- Certification: Issuance of the Certificate of Conformity required for customs clearance and market release
Compliance is not just a requirement it is a gateway to market trust and growth.
