Entering the Middle East GCC Toy Market is easier than it might seem


STC can help you obtain the GCC Conformity quality mark and enter the Middle East GCC Toy Market: Test to international and GCC standards for general safety (GSO 577), mechanical and chemical requirements (GSO 578), flammability criteria (GSO 579), and other relevant testing with reference to the EN71 series of standards.


All toy manufacturers and distributors doing business in the GCC must comply with the GCC-wide safety and health regulations for toys as set by the Gulf Toys Technical Regulation (GTTR). Manufacturers must draw up a DoC on the basis of “Type Examination” by a GCC Notified Body or compliance verification to the GSO safety requirements.


The GTTR is now enforced in all Gulf Cooperation Council Member States (GCC), including:


-The State of the United Arab Emirates


-The Kingdom of Bahrain


-The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia


-The Sultanate of Oman


-The State of Qatar


-The State of Kuwait


-The Republic of Yemen
