GSO 2693:2022 is a unified regional radio receiver technical standard formulated by GCC Standardization Organization, targeted at terrestrial broadcast receiving equipment exported to Gulf markets.
Approved and promulgated in May 2022 by GSO TC03 Radio Technical Committee with UAE as the leading drafting country, ICS classification No.33.160.20. The updated mandatory version GSO 2693:2026 was released in April 2026, currently in global market transition promotion stage.
Three core regulated broadcast signal formats:
·AM: Traditional medium & shortwave analog broadcast, mainly used for local official news and religious program transmission in Gulf areas
·FM: 88-108MHz VHF frequency band high-definition stereo broadcast, the most mainstream civilian broadcast service in GCC regions
·T-DAB+: Terrestrial digital audio broadcast enhanced version, mature network coverage completed in UAE and Saudi Arabia
2. All Products Required to Apply for GSO 2693 Certification
·Household broadcast receivers: Desktop radios, home audio systems with built-in receiving function
·Portable receiving devices: Outdoor portable radios, Bluetooth speakers with FM/AM receiving function
·Pre-installed in-vehicle equipment: Original factory integrated vehicle infotainment host with broadcast receiving module
·After-market automotive modified equipment: Modified central control navigation host, dashcam with receiving function
·Multi-functional integrated consumer electronics: Smart terminals with built-in terrestrial radio receiving function
3. Full Range of GSO 2693 Certification Test Items
1) Core RF Performance Test (Most critical test item)
Implemented per ETSI EN 303 186, test indicators include receiving sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, channel selectivity and anti-blocking capability; qualified standard: DAB+ Viterbi decoder bit error rate lower than 10⁻⁴.
2) EMC Electromagnetic Compatibility Test
Conducted in accordance with CISPR 13 & CISPR 20, including conducted emission, radiated emission and anti-interference test, pre-test recommended to reduce rectification failure rate.
3) Product Safety Performance Test
