Changing type approval regulatory landscape

Oman’s Type Approval regulatory landscape is undergoing significant changes, set to take effect in August 2024.

Here are the key updates:

Certificate Validity Reduced: Previously unlimited, certificate validity will now be capped at four years. This change applies retroactively to approval certificates issued before the new law. The four-year validity period begins from the date of issuance.

QR Code Labelling: As part of these reforms, a new label update has been introduced. All relevant products must now include a QR code on their labels.
