New Gulf Standards and Regulations

The Technical Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council Standardization Organization (GSO) held its 60th meeting on Monday and Tuesday, 23–24 Shawwal 1446H (21–22 April 2025), in the State of Kuwait, pleasantly hosted by the Public Authority for Industry (PAI).
 
The meeting was attended by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO), heads of national standardization bodies from the GCC member states, the GSO President, and a representative from the General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

During the session, the Council approved several key resolutions, including:
 

• Adoption of 199 new Gulf Standards
• Approval of 7 draft Gulf Technical Regulations
• Transformation of 221 Gulf Technical Regulations into Gulf Standards
• Approval of 15 translation projects for Gulf standards and technical regulations

These efforts are part of GSO’s ongoing mission to strengthen economic integration among GCC countries and facilitate trade by harmonizing technical standards and regulations across the region.
 
Not to mention, the Council approved the action plans of various Gulf technical committees and endorsed the general framework of GSO’s Strategic Plan 2026–2030.
 
This strategic direction aims to further advance Gulf standardization, support economic integration, and streamline trade by unifying standards and technical criteria across GCC member states.
