Oman is a member state of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Electrical and electronic products entering the Omani market must meet the unified mandatory certification requirements of the Gulf Standardization Organization (GSO), supervised and enforced by the Directorate General of Standards and Metrology (DGSM) of Oman. The core market access requirement is G-mark certification, covering most common electrical and electronic products such as household appliances, lighting equipment, IT equipment and power adapters. High energy-consuming products also need to apply for an additional mandatory energy efficiency label.

Market access for electrical and electronic products in Oman follows unified GCC technical regulations and local compliance requirements issued by Omani DGSM. Core rules include the G-mark certification framework regulation implemented by GSO and the GSO 2663/2021 energy efficiency labeling technical regulation.
