Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, and while it has its own regulatory institutions, its product compliance framework is largely based on UK law, with some retained EU-derived regulations post-Brexit. The territory imports most goods and emphasizes public health, safety, and environmental conformity.


Key Authorities:

  • Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (GRA) – Regulates telecommunications, electronic communications, and type approval for radio equipment.

  • Environmental Agency (Gibraltar) – Oversees environmental health, food safety, and hazardous substances.

  • Ministry of Health – Handles product registration and safety for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and healthcare products.

  • HM Customs Gibraltar – Enforces import rules, verifies documentation, and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.


Key Compliance Elements:

  • Applicable Standards: Gibraltar typically accepts products that conform to UK and formerly EU standards. CE or UKCA marking may be required depending on product type and origin.

  • Product Registration: Health products (pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, supplements, and medical devices) must be approved and registered with the Ministry of Health.

  • Labeling Requirements: Labels must be in English and include product name, ingredients, usage instructions, warnings, manufacturer/importer info, batch number, and expiration date where applicable.

  • Type Approval: Telecom and RF devices must receive type approval from the GRA before being sold or operated in Gibraltar.

  • Import Control: Customs may require certificates of conformity, origin, and relevant health or environmental approvals based on product category.
