Third-Party Inspection Services in GCC are essential when you are exporting goods from India or other countries to GCC markets such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain. If you are importing machinery or raw materials into the GCC, or executing infrastructure, oil & gas, or construction projects in the region, and you need an independent, accredited third-party inspection services that GCC buyers, project owners, EPC contractors, and regulators can trust, we can help. We are TNV Inspection Division, a UAF-accredited inspection body (ISO/IEC 17020:2012) headquartered in Lucknow, India, with qualified inspectors and local partners across the GCC. Our inspection reports and certificates are accepted by GCC buyers, government entities, banks, and international oil & gas companies because they are issued by an independent Type A inspection body under internationally recognized accreditation.
What We Inspect in GCC
The GCC region is a major hub for oil & gas, petrochemicals, power, desalination, and large-scale infrastructure projects. Buyers and project owners in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other GCC countries demand strict compliance with international codes (ASME, API, ASTM, IEC), GSO standards, project specifications, and local regulatory requirements (such as SASO, ESMA, ADNOC, or ARAMCO standards).
We carry out independent third-party inspections at every stage — from raw material verification and during production in Indian or other factories, to pre-shipment checks before goods are dispatched to major GCC ports (Jebel Ali, Dammam, Doha, etc.), or stage-wise inspection at project sites within the GCC. Our inspectors verify quantity, quality, packaging, labelling, material certificates, welding, NDT, and overall conformity against the agreed contract and applicable standards.
