The G-Mark certification is used as an access certificate for products to enter the market of the 7 Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen), and its certification adopts the latest version of GSO/IEC/EN and other standards. When the standard version is updated, the transition period of the old standard is 2 years. When the transition period ends, G-Mark certification will force the adoption of the latest version of the standard. In addition, after the release of the new version of the standard, the certificate obtained based on the old version of the standard must complete the certificate renewal before the implementation date of the new version of the standard, otherwise the certificate will be suspended or revoked.
