| Minimum Energy Performance and GSO Energy-Efficiency Label for Lighting (DGSM / GSO) | China's equivalent is GB 30255-2019 (Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires). It defines three energy efficiency grades: Grade 1 (highest), Grade 2, and Grade 3, based on absolute luminous efficacy in lm/W; Grade 3 is the minimum required for market entry in China. The China Energy Label (CEL) registration with CQC / CECP is mandatory for GB 30255-covered products and is administered under SAMR. The CEL grade is calculated from absolute lm/W thresholds.GB 30255-2019 — Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires (SAC/SAMR) China Energy Label (CEL) scheme — administered by SAMR / CQC / CECP |
Oman applies GSO (Gulf Standardization Organization) energy-efficiency requirements and labelling for lighting products, administered nationally through MOCIIP / DGSM (Directorate General for Standards and Metrology). The GSO lighting energy-efficiency labelling scheme requires in-scope LED lamps and luminaires to meet a minimum luminous efficacy and to carry a GSO energy-efficiency label (a star-rated or grade-based label declaring efficacy in lm/W and related performance) before market placement. The mandatory obligation is the DGSM-adopted GSO technical regulation and labelling rule, with luminous efficacy as the primary metric. Product registration with a GSO/DGSM-recognized conformity body and an in-country importer is generally required. Thresholds and the exact label format follow the current GSO energy-efficiency standard for lighting in force at the time of placement.GSO energy-efficiency labelling technical regulation for lighting products (adopted and enforced in Oman via MOCIIP / DGSM) DGSM (Directorate General for Standards and Metrology) conformity and product-registration requirements for regulated lighting products |
Both Oman (GSO label) and China (CEL) operate luminous-efficacy-based energy labels, but the schemes are separate and non-mutual: a CN CEL registration does not satisfy the GSO / DGSM labelling obligation, and the label artwork, grade boundaries, and registration body differ. A product's CN grade does not determine its GSO label rating. Exporters must register the product with a GSO/DGSM-recognized conformity body and apply the GSO energy-efficiency label before market placement in Oman, through an in-country importer. Verify the current GSO efficacy thresholds for the specific lamp / luminaire sub-category, as GSO editions are periodically updated. Note the Oman grid is 240 V 50 Hz (vs China 220 V 50 Hz), so efficacy and driver design should be validated at 240 V.[INFORMATIONAL] Oman applies GSO energy-efficiency labelling and minimum luminous-efficacy requirements for lighting through MOCIIP / DGSM. In-scope LED lamps and luminaires must carry a GSO energy-efficiency label and be registered via a recognized conformity body and in-country importer before placement. China's GB 30255 grades and CEL registration are based on absolute lm/W but the schemes are non-mutual, so a CN CEL does not substitute for the GSO label. Verify current GSO efficacy thresholds for the specific sub-category and validate performance at 240 V 50 Hz before export. | MOCIIP — Directorate General for Standards and Metrology (DGSM), Sultanate of Oman2026-06-15 · reference |
| Product Performance Declaration and Grid Compatibility at 240 V 50 Hz | Chinese LED luminaires are typically designed and rated for the China grid of 220 V 50 Hz, and performance is declared under GB 30255-2019 (efficacy / grade) and the associated China Energy Label. Many CN LED drivers accept a wide input range (e.g. 100-240 V or 176-264 V), but products rated only for 220 V nominal are common in the CN domestic market. Declared performance follows the CN test conditions at 220 V 50 Hz.GB 30255-2019 — Energy efficiency requirements for LED room luminaires (declared at 220 V 50 Hz; SAC/SAMR) China Energy Label (CEL) scheme — performance declaration at CN test conditions |
Beyond the energy label, Oman market placement requires that declared product performance (rated power, luminous flux, efficacy, rated voltage / frequency range) be validated for the Oman grid of 240 V 50 Hz and be consistent with the GSO-adopted performance and safety standards. The rated input range on the product and packaging must cover 240 V 50 Hz; products marked only for 220 V may be deemed non-conforming or unsafe for the local grid. Performance data declared in the GSO label and technical documentation must match the configuration sold in Oman. The legal obligation is the DGSM-adopted GSO technical regulation; the supporting test method follows the applicable GSO/IEC performance and energy standards in force.DGSM-adopted GSO performance / energy-efficiency standard for LED lighting (rated voltage and performance declaration; Oman grid 240 V 50 Hz) GSO/IEC lamp and luminaire performance standards (as adopted in Oman) |
The frequency is the same (50 Hz), but the nominal voltage differs: Oman is 240 V while China's domestic rating is commonly 220 V. A driver with a wide input range (covering 240 V) may already be electrically compatible, but the product markings, rated-voltage declaration, and GSO label performance data must reflect 240 V operation, not only 220 V. Exporters should: (1) confirm the driver and luminaire are rated and tested at 240 V 50 Hz; (2) re-mark the rated input on product and packaging to cover 240 V; (3) ensure efficacy / flux declared on the GSO label corresponds to 240 V operation. Performance declared only at 220 V under the CN CEL cannot be carried over unchanged onto the Oman GSO label.[INFORMATIONAL] Oman runs at 240 V 50 Hz. Although the 50 Hz frequency matches China, the nominal voltage differs from China's common 220 V rating. Products must be rated, marked, and performance-declared for 240 V operation, and the GSO energy-efficiency label data must correspond to 240 V. A wide-range driver may be electrically compatible, but exporters should re-verify ratings and markings rather than carrying over a 220 V-only CN declaration. | MOCIIP — Directorate General for Standards and Metrology (DGSM), Sultanate of Oman2026-06-15 · reference |
| EMC Emissions for Lighting — GSO / CISPR 15 (DGSM) | China's equivalent is GB 17743-2017 (Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment), technically aligned with CISPR 15. For luminaires sold in China, GB 17743 compliance is required as part of CCC certification, which covers both safety and EMC for relevant product categories. Testing must be conducted at CNAS / CMA-accredited laboratories in China.GB 17743-2017 — Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment (SAC/SAMR, aligned with CISPR 15) | LED luminaires placed on the Oman market are expected to meet electromagnetic compatibility (radio disturbance / emission) requirements based on the GSO-adopted standard that corresponds to CISPR 15 (limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment), enforced nationally through MOCIIP / DGSM as part of the conformity assessment for regulated electrical lighting products. The applicable scope covers conducted emissions on the mains terminals and radiated emissions over the lighting-equipment frequency ranges. Test evidence from a recognized laboratory, consistent with the GSO/CISPR 15 emission limits, forms part of the technical documentation submitted via the in-country importer. Smart / wireless luminaires fall additionally under TRA radio approval (see ledom-emc-02).GSO-adopted CISPR 15 standard — radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment (enforced in Oman via MOCIIP / DGSM) DGSM conformity assessment requirements for regulated electrical lighting products |
Both the GSO-adopted lighting EMC standard and CN GB 17743 derive from CISPR 15, so emission limits are largely harmonized and a CN GB 17743 test report from an ILAC MRA-recognized (CNAS) laboratory can substantially reduce re-testing. The practical gaps are procedural rather than technical: (1) the conformity evidence must be submitted to MOCIIP / DGSM through an in-country importer under the Oman conformity scheme, not under China's CCC; (2) the recognized laboratory's report should fall within scope acceptable to DGSM / GSO; (3) the declared rated voltage condition for the test should reflect 240 V 50 Hz operation. CCC EMC reports prepared solely for the CN domestic scheme are not automatically accepted; confirm the laboratory accreditation scope and the GSO standard edition referenced.[INFORMATIONAL] Oman requires lighting EMC emission compliance based on the GSO-adopted CISPR 15 standard, enforced via MOCIIP / DGSM. Because both Oman (GSO/CISPR 15) and China (GB 17743) derive from CISPR 15, a CN test report from an ILAC MRA-recognized laboratory can reduce re-testing, but the evidence must be submitted under the Oman conformity scheme through an in-country importer, tested at the 240 V condition, and CCC alone does not satisfy the Oman pathway. Confirm laboratory scope and GSO edition. | MOCIIP — Directorate General for Standards and Metrology (DGSM), Sultanate of Oman2026-06-15 · reference |
| TRA Radio Type Approval for Smart / Wireless Luminaires (Oman) | In China, wireless-enabled luminaires require SRRC (State Radio Regulation Commission, now under MIIT radio administration) type approval for the radio module, in addition to CCC for the luminaire. SRRC approval covers spectrum / RF parameters for the Chinese market. SRRC type approval is specific to the Chinese radio regime and is not recognized for the Oman TRA market-access pathway.SRRC type approval — required for wireless radio modules in China (MIIT radio administration) | LED luminaires with integrated wireless functionality (e.g. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee smart lighting) require type approval from the TRA (Telecommunications Regulatory Authority) of Oman before being imported, sold, or operated. The TRA regulates radio-equipment market access, spectrum use, and approval of telecommunications / radio devices in Oman. Approval typically requires submission of RF test reports (covering radio performance and the radio-frequency spectrum-use parameters) consistent with the GSO / international radio-equipment requirements recognized by the TRA, plus product and applicant documentation submitted via an in-country importer. This is in addition to the DGSM lighting safety and EMC conformity for the luminaire itself.TRA (Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, Oman) type-approval / radio-equipment market-access requirements GSO / international radio-equipment requirements recognized by the TRA for wireless devices |
China's SRRC approval does not satisfy Oman's TRA type approval — they are separate national radio regimes. A smart LED luminaire that holds CCC + SRRC for China still requires a separate TRA type approval in Oman before import / sale / operation. Exporters must: (1) identify all radio interfaces in the product (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, etc.); (2) prepare RF test reports acceptable to the TRA, validating the spectrum-use parameters permitted in Oman; (3) apply for TRA type approval via an in-country importer; and (4) ensure the DGSM lighting safety / EMC conformity is also in place for the luminaire body. Note the radio test conditions and supply should reflect the Oman 240 V 50 Hz grid. Non-wireless (plain) LED luminaires do not require TRA approval.[INFORMATIONAL] Smart / wireless LED luminaires require Oman TRA type approval before import, sale, or operation — a separate national radio regime that China's SRRC approval does not satisfy. Exporters must prepare TRA-acceptable RF test evidence and apply via an in-country importer, in addition to the luminaire's DGSM lighting safety and EMC conformity. Non-wireless luminaires are outside TRA scope.

| Photobiological Safety — Blue Light Hazard (GSO IEC 62471 Risk Groups) | China has adopted GB/T 20145-2006 (Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems), technically equivalent to IEC 62471:2006. GB/T 20145 is a recommended standard (T = tuijian, recommended) and is not universally mandatory for all LED luminaires in the Chinese market; enforcement and testing obligations are less prescriptive for residential luminaires.GB/T 20145-2006 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems (SAC/SAMR — recommended standard, equivalent to IEC 62471:2006) | Oman applies the GSO-adopted version of IEC 62471 (Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems) for assessing the photobiological / blue light hazard of LED lamps and luminaires. Through MOCIIP / DGSM, in-scope regulated lighting products are expected to have a documented photobiological risk-group classification (RG0 Exempt to RG3 High risk), derived from blue-light-weighted radiance and irradiance measurements, as part of the conformity technical documentation. Products in higher risk groups (RG2 and above) carry usage restrictions and labelling / warning expectations. The supporting test method follows the GSO/IEC 62471 standard as adopted; evidence is submitted via the in-country importer under the DGSM conformity scheme.GSO-adopted IEC 62471 — Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems (risk group classification; enforced in Oman via MOCIIP / DGSM) DGSM conformity technical documentation requirements for regulated lighting products |
Both Oman (GSO IEC 62471) and China (GB/T 20145) derive from IEC 62471, so the technical method for risk-group classification is largely harmonized and a CN GB/T 20145 test report can serve as a strong basis. The differences are: (1) CN GB/T 20145 is a recommended standard and is often not routinely tested for residential luminaires, so a CN-spec product may lack a documented risk-group classification; (2) for the Oman market the photobiological risk group should be documented in the DGSM conformity technical file and submitted via the in-country importer; (3) confirm the GSO-adopted IEC 62471 edition, as it may differ from the 2006 edition underlying GB/T 20145. RG2/RG3 products require warnings and usage instructions. Most general-purpose LED luminaires fall in RG0 or RG1 with no usage restriction, but the classification should be formally recorded.[INFORMATIONAL] Oman assesses photobiological / blue light hazard using the GSO-adopted IEC 62471 risk-group method, with the classification expected in the DGSM conformity technical file for regulated lighting. China's GB/T 20145 is recommended-only and may not have been tested for a CN-spec product, so exporters should ensure a documented risk-group classification is prepared for the Oman file. Confirm the GSO-adopted IEC 62471 edition; RG2/RG3 products require warnings and usage restrictions. | MOCIIP — Directorate General for Standards and Metrology (DGSM), Sultanate of Oman2026-06-15 · reference |
| Product Marking, Warnings and Arabic / English Labelling for Lighting (DGSM) | Chinese LED luminaire marking follows GB 7000-series safety standards (markings, ratings) and the China Energy Label under GB 30255; consumer information is in Chinese. The China RoHS disclosure label (orange / green) under SJ/T 11364-2014 may also appear. There is no Chinese requirement for Arabic labelling, and Chinese packaging does not carry the GSO energy-efficiency label or Oman-specific warnings.GB 7000-series safety marking requirements + GB 30255-2019 China Energy Label (Chinese-language consumer information) SJ/T 11364-2014 — China RoHS hazardous-substance disclosure label (orange / green) |
For the Oman market, regulated LED lamps and luminaires must carry product marking and labelling consistent with the GSO-adopted standards and DGSM requirements, generally including manufacturer / importer identification, rated electrical and photometric data, applicable safety markings, and a GSO energy-efficiency label where in scope. Consumer-facing labelling and instructions are commonly expected in Arabic and English. Where the photobiological assessment places a product in RG2 or above, appropriate hazard warnings and usage instructions should appear on the product / packaging. The legal basis is the DGSM-adopted GSO marking and labelling technical regulation; the importer of record is responsible for ensuring compliant labelling at the point of market placement.DGSM-adopted GSO marking and labelling technical regulation for lighting products (manufacturer / importer ID, ratings, safety marks, GSO energy label) Arabic / English consumer labelling expectation for products placed on the Oman market |
Chinese product / packaging marking is prepared for the CN domestic market in Chinese and does not meet Oman labelling expectations. For Oman, exporters must: (1) provide consumer labelling and instructions in Arabic and English; (2) re-mark rated electrical data to reflect 240 V 50 Hz operation; (3) apply the GSO energy-efficiency label where the product is in scope; (4) add photobiological hazard warnings for RG2+ products; and (5) display manufacturer and in-country importer identification per DGSM requirements. The China Energy Label and China RoHS disclosure label have no standing in Oman and should be replaced by the GSO label and Oman-compliant marking. The importer of record carries responsibility for compliant labelling at market placement.[INFORMATIONAL] Oman requires DGSM / GSO-compliant product marking and labelling, generally including Arabic and English consumer information, 240 V ratings, safety marks, the GSO energy-efficiency label, and RG2+ photobiological warnings. Chinese-language CN markings, the China Energy Label, and the China RoHS disclosure label have no standing in Oman. The in-country importer of record is responsible for compliant labelling at market placement; exporters should prepare Oman-specific artwork rather than reusing CN packaging. | MOCIIP — Directorate General for Standards and Metrology (DGSM), Sultanate of Oman2026-06-15 · reference |
| Hazardous-Substance Restriction — No Horizontal RoHS Equivalent in Oman | China's baseline is GB/T 26572-2011 (Requirements for concentration limits for certain restricted substances in electrical and electronic products), covering the original 6 RoHS substances (Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr(VI), PBB, PBDE) at the same concentration thresholds as EU RoHS. China RoHS 2 (Management Measures, with SJ/T 11364-2014) requires a hazardous-substance disclosure label (orange for above threshold / green for below) on EEE sold in China. As of 2026, the 4 EU phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP) are not yet in the CN mandatory restricted list under GB/T 26572.GB/T 26572-2011 — Requirements for concentration limits for certain restricted substances in EEE (SAC/SAMR — original 6 substances) SJ/T 11364-2014 — Marking for the restricted use of hazardous substances in EEE (China RoHS 2 disclosure label) |
Oman does not operate a horizontal RoHS-type regulation that broadly restricts a fixed list of hazardous substances (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE, phthalates) in electrical and electronic equipment as a condition of market access, in the way the EU RoHS Directive does. There is no GSO-adopted, Oman-enforced equivalent to EU Directive 2011/65/EU acting as a standalone substance-restriction market gate for LED luminaires as of 2026. Substance-related safety is addressed indirectly through the GSO-adopted product safety standards (e.g. material, insulation and component requirements under GSO IEC 60598 / 62560) and any specific chemical / hazardous-material controls under general Omani environmental and chemicals law, rather than through a dedicated electronics RoHS regime. Exporters should not assume a positive RoHS market-access requirement, but should also not assume the absence of any substance control — verify current MOCIIP / DGSM requirements at the time of placement.No horizontal RoHS-type substance-restriction regulation adopted as a market-access gate for EEE in Oman as of 2026 (verify current MOCIIP / DGSM position) Substance-related material / insulation safety addressed indirectly via GSO-adopted product safety standards (GSO IEC 60598 / 62560) |
Unlike the EU, Oman has no horizontal RoHS market gate, so there is generally no positive obligation to test LED luminaires against the EU 10-substance RoHS list (or the China 6-substance GB/T 26572 list) purely for Oman market access. This is a lighter substance-restriction burden than EU export. However: (1) the China RoHS disclosure label (orange / green) has no role in Oman and should not be relied on as an Oman compliance artifact; (2) material and component safety is still governed by the GSO-adopted lighting safety standards; (3) if the same product is also destined for the EU, EU RoHS (including the 4 phthalates) and REACH SVHC obligations still apply for those EU shipments. Exporters should confirm the current MOCIIP / DGSM position before assuming no substance control exists, as GCC / GSO requirements can evolve.[INFORMATIONAL] Oman has no horizontal RoHS-type substance-restriction regime acting as a market gate for LED luminaires as of 2026, so the EU 10-substance and CN 6-substance lists are not a positive Oman market-access test. Substance / material safety is addressed indirectly through GSO-adopted lighting safety standards. The China RoHS disclosure label has no Oman standing. Exporters serving both Oman and the EU must still meet EU RoHS and REACH for EU shipments. Confirm the current MOCIIP / DGSM position, as GSO requirements can change. | MOCIIP — Directorate General for Standards and Metrology (DGSM), Sultanate of Oman2026-06-15 · reference |
| Conformity Assessment, Product Registration and In-Country Importer (MOCIIP / DGSM) | In China, the primary mandatory certification for in-scope luminaires sold in the residential market is CCC (China Compulsory Certification), administered by CNCA, requiring third-party certification by a CNCA-authorized body (e.g. CQC). Products outside mandatory CCC scope may use voluntary CQC certification. For wireless luminaires, SRRC type approval is additionally required. CCC / CQC certificates are issued under the Chinese national scheme and are not recognized for the Oman DGSM / GSO conformity pathway.CNCA-C10-01 — CCC certification rules for luminaires (CNCA / CQC) SRRC type approval — required for wireless-enabled luminaires in China |
Market access for regulated LED luminaires in Oman runs through MOCIIP / DGSM conformity assessment and product registration, generally requiring: (1) test reports demonstrating compliance with the GSO-adopted safety, performance, EMC and (where applicable) energy-efficiency standards; (2) a conformity certificate / registration from a DGSM-recognized conformity assessment body or scheme; (3) an in-country registered importer / agent acting as the responsible entity for placement; and (4) compliant marking, labelling and the GSO energy-efficiency label where in scope. Goods typically enter via the ports of Sohar or Salalah and may be subject to conformity verification at import. The legal basis is the MOCIIP / DGSM technical regulations adopting the relevant GSO standards. Self-declaration alone (as used for some EU CE routes) is not the Oman pathway; recognized conformity-body involvement and importer registration are generally required.MOCIIP / DGSM conformity assessment and product registration requirements for regulated products (adopting relevant GSO standards) In-country registered importer / agent requirement; conformity verification at import (ports of Sohar / Salalah) |
China's CCC / CQC certification and the Oman DGSM / GSO conformity scheme are parallel and non-mutual: a CCC certificate does not grant Oman market access. Key Oman-specific steps with no direct CN counterpart: (1) registration / conformity through a DGSM-recognized conformity body using GSO-adopted standards; (2) an in-country registered importer / agent as the responsible entity (China has no equivalent foreign-manufacturer-must-appoint-local-importer step within its own domestic CCC); (3) conformity verification at the port of import (Sohar / Salalah); (4) the GSO energy-efficiency label and Arabic / English labelling. Test reports from ILAC MRA-recognized (CNAS) laboratories built on IEC-aligned GB standards can substantially support the GSO submission, reducing duplicate testing, but the certification and importer-registration administration must be completed under the Oman scheme.[INFORMATIONAL] Oman market access for regulated LED luminaires requires DGSM / GSO conformity assessment, product registration via a recognized conformity body, and an in-country registered importer, with possible conformity verification at the ports of Sohar / Salalah. China's CCC / CQC and SRRC are parallel non-mutual schemes that do not grant Oman access. ILAC MRA-recognized CN test reports on IEC-aligned GB standards can support the GSO submission and reduce duplicate testing, but the Oman certification and importer-registration administration must be completed separately. | MOCIIP — Directorate General for Standards and Metrology (DGSM), Sultanate of Oman2026-06-15 · reference |
| Chemicals / Hazardous-Material Controls vs REACH SVHC and CN Chemical Law | China does not have a direct equivalent to REACH SVHC Article 33 supply-chain notification either. The closest CN instruments are MEE Order No. 12 (2020) — Measures for the Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances — and GB 30981 / GB-series hazardous-chemical classification and labelling rules. None create an obligation to proactively notify B2B customers when an SVHC is present in an article above 0.1% w/w.MEE Order No. 12 (2020) — Measures for the Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances (China) GB 30981 / GB-series — classification and labelling of hazardous chemicals (China) |
Oman does not operate a REACH-style supply-chain notification obligation (such as EU REACH Article 33 SVHC communication, or a biannually updated Candidate List) for articles such as LED luminaires as a condition of market access. General chemical and hazardous-material handling in Oman is governed by national environmental and chemical-safety law and applicable GSO chemical / labelling standards, focused mainly on hazardous chemicals, transport and workplace safety rather than on substance-in-article notification for finished electronics. For LED luminaires, there is therefore generally no ongoing SVHC screening / B2B notification duty equivalent to REACH Article 33 for the Oman market. Exporters should still verify any product-specific restrictions (e.g. mercury content in any lamp types) under the relevant GSO and Omani provisions before placement.No REACH-style SVHC supply-chain notification obligation for articles in Oman as of 2026 (verify current MOCIIP / DGSM and environmental-authority position) General Omani environmental / chemical-safety law and GSO chemical / hazard labelling standards (hazardous chemicals, transport, workplace safety focus) |
For the Oman market specifically, neither an EU-style REACH SVHC Article 33 notification duty nor a SCIP-type database registration applies to LED luminaires, so this is a lighter ongoing-compliance burden than EU export — and broadly comparable to China, which also lacks a REACH Article 33 equivalent. The practical points: (1) exporters serving both Oman and the EU must still maintain REACH SVHC screening and Candidate List tracking for their EU shipments, even though Oman does not require it; (2) any product-specific GSO or Omani provision (for example mercury limits applicable to certain lamp technologies, or hazardous-chemical labelling where relevant) should still be checked; (3) do not rely on the absence of a REACH-style duty as a permanent assumption — GCC / GSO chemical requirements can evolve, so re-verify the current MOCIIP / DGSM and environmental-authority position at the time of placement.[INFORMATIONAL] Oman does not impose a REACH-style SVHC Article 33 notification duty or SCIP-type registration on LED luminaires as of 2026, so the ongoing chemical-notification burden is lighter than EU export and broadly comparable to China. Exporters serving the EU as well must still maintain REACH SVHC screening for EU shipments. Check any product-specific GSO / Omani chemical provisions (e.g. mercury limits for certain lamp types) and re-verify the current MOCIIP / DGSM and environmental-authority position before placement. | MOCIIP — Directorate General for Standards and Metrology (DGSM), Sultanate of Oman2026-06-15 · reference |
| Electrical Safety — General Luminaire and Self-Ballasted Lamp (GSO IEC 60598-1 / GSO IEC 62560) | China's current general luminaire safety standard is GB/T 7000.1-2023 (Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests), replacing GB 7000.1-2015 from 1 January 2026; the edition change also moves the designation from mandatory GB to recommended GB/T, while CCC obligations for in-scope luminaires remain governed by the applicable CNCA rules. Self-ballasted LED lamps follow GB 24906 / GB/T 24908-series safety and performance standards. Both are technically based on the corresponding IEC standards (IEC 60598-1, IEC 62560). CCC testing is conducted by CNCA-authorized laboratories. CCC evidence is not accepted directly under the Oman DGSM / GSO pathway.GB/T 7000.1-2023 — Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests (replaces GB 7000.1-2015 from 1 January 2026; SAC/SAMR) GB 24906 / GB/T 24908-series — safety and performance of self-ballasted LED lamps (SAC/SAMR) CNCA-C10-01 — CCC certification rules for luminaires |
LED luminaires and lamps placed on the Oman market must comply with the GSO-adopted lighting safety standards enforced through MOCIIP / DGSM. The general luminaire safety standard is GSO IEC 60598-1 (Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests), supplemented by the relevant Part 2 standards for the specific luminaire type; self-ballasted LED lamps follow GSO IEC 62560 (Self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting services with supply voltages above 50 V — safety specifications). Key requirements cover protection against electric shock (creepage / clearance, insulation, touch current), thermal endurance, mechanical strength, and marking. Conformity is demonstrated via test reports to the GSO-adopted standards, a conformity certificate / registration from a DGSM-recognized body, and an in-country registered importer. Ratings and tests should reflect the Oman grid of 240 V 50 Hz.GSO IEC 60598-1 — Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests (adopted in Oman via MOCIIP / DGSM) GSO IEC 62560 — Self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting services, voltages above 50 V — safety specifications |
Because both the Oman GSO standards and the Chinese GB / GB-T standards derive from the same IEC base (IEC 60598-1, IEC 62560), the technical safety content is largely harmonized, and CN test reports from an ILAC MRA-recognized (CNAS) laboratory can substantially support the GSO submission — reducing duplicate testing. The gaps are mainly procedural and configuration-related: (1) conformity must be certified / registered through a DGSM-recognized body under the Oman scheme, not under China's CCC, and routed through an in-country importer; (2) ratings, type tests, and markings should reflect the Oman 240 V 50 Hz grid rather than only China's 220 V; (3) creepage / clearance and certain test conditions tied to nominal voltage should be reviewed for the 240 V condition; (4) marking and instructions must meet Oman labelling expectations (Arabic / English). A CCC certificate alone does not grant Oman market access.[INFORMATIONAL] Oman requires LED luminaires and lamps to comply with the GSO-adopted IEC 60598-1 / IEC 62560 safety standards, certified / registered via a DGSM-recognized body and an in-country importer.

| LED Driver / Control Gear Safety (GSO IEC 61347-2-13) | China's equivalent is the GB 19510-series, in particular GB 19510.14-2014 (Control gear for lamps — Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic control gear for LED modules), technically aligned with IEC 61347-2-13, alongside GB 19510.1 (general requirements). CCC certification may be required for LED drivers in certain power ranges sold in the Chinese residential market. Chinese CCC test reports under GB 19510.14 are issued under the national scheme and are not accepted directly under the Oman DGSM / GSO pathway.GB 19510.14-2014 — Control gear for lamps — Part 2-13: Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic control gear for LED modules (SAC/SAMR) GB 19510.1 — Lamp control gear — Part 1: General and safety requirements (SAC/SAMR) |
LED drivers (control gear for LED modules) for the Oman market must comply with the GSO-adopted IEC 61347-series safety standards: IEC 61347-1 (general requirements) together with IEC 61347-2-13 (Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic control gear for LED modules), enforced via MOCIIP / DGSM. The standard addresses isolation class, dielectric strength, thermal endurance, protective measures, and safety marking for LED drivers. When the driver is sold as a separate product (not integrated into the luminaire), it requires its own conformity assessment and registration in addition to the luminaire-level conformity. The driver input rating must cover the Oman 240 V 50 Hz grid. Conformity is demonstrated by test reports to the GSO-adopted standard and processed via a DGSM-recognized body and in-country importer.GSO IEC 61347-1 — Lamp control gear — Part 1: General and safety requirements (adopted in Oman via MOCIIP / DGSM) GSO IEC 61347-2-13 — Particular requirements for DC or AC supplied electronic control gear for LED modules |
GSO IEC 61347-2-13 and CN GB 19510.14 both derive from IEC 61347-2-13, so the technical safety content is largely harmonized and an ILAC MRA-recognized CN test report can substantially support the GSO submission. The Oman-specific points: (1) if the LED driver is sold standalone, it needs its own DGSM / GSO conformity and registration, separate from the luminaire; (2) the driver input rating and type tests must cover the Oman 240 V 50 Hz grid rather than only China's 220 V; (3) the conformity must be processed under the Oman scheme via a DGSM-recognized body and in-country importer; (4) check whether the specific driver power range triggers CCC or only voluntary CQC in China — but note CCC status has no bearing on the Oman requirement. CCC evidence alone does not grant Oman market access; the GSO submission and importer registration must be completed under the Oman scheme.[INFORMATIONAL] LED drivers placed on the Oman market as standalone products require GSO IEC 61347-2-13 conformity and registration via a DGSM-recognized body and in-country importer, with input ratings and tests covering 240 V 50 Hz. Because GSO IEC 61347-2-13 and CN GB 19510.14 share the IEC 61347-2-13 base, an ILAC MRA-recognized CN test report can substantially support the GSO submission, but a CCC certificate alone does not grant Oman access. When the driver is integrated into the luminaire, its safety evidence forms part of the luminaire conformity file alongside GSO IEC 60598-1 evidence. | MOCIIP — Directorate General for Standards and Metrology (DGSM), Sultanate of Oman2026-06-15 · reference |
