Oman Type Approval Homologation

Oman

21-08-2024

Oman is introducing major changes to the validity period and labeling requirements for its Type Approval certificates.

Starting August 21, 2024, Type Approval certificates will have a fixed validity period of four years, down from an indefinite term. This update affects both new and existing certifications. Certificates issued before 2020 must be renewed promptly to maintain validity.

Additional updates include:

Labeling Requirements: Products with certifications issued after August 2024 must feature a QR code on their labels.
Applicant Details: New certifications must be registered under the name of the actual importer.

The trial aims to identify potential challenges in preparation for the gradual shutdown planned from the third quarter 2024.
