I have recently been speaking to one of the guys who is responsible for
writing this legislation on behalf of the GCC and can confirm that what Ted
says is correct. My understanding is that, to all intents and purposes, the
regulations will be the same as those which apply for CE marking in the EU.
Contact me off line if you have any questions which you would like me to put
to my contact.
regards
Nick.

NIST recently hosted a workshop on Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
product
regulations. The GCC has adopted and implemented unified framework for toy
safety. The GCC version of the Low Voltage Directive has been adopted and is
in the process of being implemented. Other categories, such as machinery, are
still being worked on. The UAE, as a member of the GCC, will likely be
adopting the new electrical safety system.
NIST has the presentations at this link.
