Omani Conformity Assessment Scheme
Omani Type Examination Certificate for Low Voltage Electrical Equipment and Appliances
The DGSM (Directorate General for Standards and Metrology of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry & Investment Promotion of the Sultanate of Oman), is implementing Technical Regulation for Low Voltage Electrical Equipment and Appliance under the new Omani Conformity Scheme, which came into force on June 5th, 2022. Products subjected to these regulations need to obtain certification from a Notified Body designated by the DGSM.
Regulated products in Stage 1 cover dishwashers, washing machines, and vacuum cleaners. Manufacturers are required to apply for the Omani Type Examination certificate from a Notified Body. These products must undergo safety and EMC tests, and the manufacturer has to prepare product design and risk analysis documentation. Conformity certificates are valid for one year and subject to annual renewal.
TÜV Rheinland Hong Kong has been designated by the Directorate General for Specifications and Measurements (DGSM) of the Sultanate of Oman as the first Notified Body for this new Omani Conformity Scheme. Starting immediately, TÜV Rheinland can provide Omani Type Examination certificates to manufacturers and importers of regulated products subjected to the Oman Technical Regulation for Low Voltage Electrical Equipment and Appliances.
