According to the regulations of the GCC Standardization Organization (GSO), the new version of the standard will be granted a two-year transition period from the date of issuance, and will be enforced after the transition period ends.
The following standards will be enforced in 2023, and the implementation dates are shown in the table below:
Product Category | New Version | Release Date | Enforcement Date |
Room heaters | IEC 60335-2-30:2009+A1:2016+A2:2021 | 2021/3/8 | 2023/3/8 |

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) | IEC 61000-3-12:2011+A1:2021 | 2021/6/4 | 2023/6/4 |
The implementation requirements of the new version of the standard are as follows:
1. From the date of implementation of the new version of the standards, CQC will adopt the new version of the standards to implement certification and issue certificates;
2. For products that have obtained GC-mark certification according to the old version of the standards, the certificate holder should submit a standard update application to CQC as soon as possible before the implementation of the new version of the standard. After the implementation of the new version of the standard, failure to apply for a standard update will affect the normal use of the existing certificates.
3. Standard version change may involve supplementary testing, which will be judged by CQC engineers according to the changes in the terms of each standard.
