The Importance of G-Mark for Toys
What is G-Mark Certification?
The Gulf Conformity Mark (G-Mark) is a mandatory mark for regulated products sold in GCC member states, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, and Yemen. G-Mark ensures products meet the safety, health, and environmental requirements outlined by the Gulf Standardization Organization (GSO).
