About the PCA program in Oman

Goods falling within specific regulated product categories must be certified for conformity to the country’s technical regulations and standards, or their approved equivalent.

A Certificate of Conformity is required for smooth customs clearance of consignments at destination ports and borders, and to ensure compliance with Omani technical regulations and regional standards.

We work with exporters and importers to help them demonstrate compliance and issue a Certificate of Conformity, which:
- Gives access to Oman’s marketplace
- Avoids delays in customs
- Reduces potential losses from the import of non-compliant products
Depending on the certification route, we provide one or a combination of the following interventions:
- Assessment of the adequacy of designs of the regulated products and their compliance with the implemented Omani regulations for LVE
- Sampling, testing and analysis in accredited laboratories approved by the DGSM
- Registration of products on the DGSM system
- Issuance of the Omani Certificate of Conformity for LVE products
