SASO Certification – Your Gateway To The Saudi Market
Navigating Saudi Arabia’s product conformity regulations can be complex without the right regulatory guidance. The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) mandates that most products obtain approval before entering the Kingdom.
Through the official SABER conformity platform, the process of product registration, conformity assessment, and certification process has been structured and standardized. Completing SASO registration and obtaining a SABER Certificate of Conformity in accordance with Saudi technical regulations through PCAS ensures regulatory compliance, minimizes customs risk, and smooth market access into Saudi Arabia.
Why Is SABER Certification Important
SABER certification is a mandatory conformity requirement under the Saudi product compliance framework. Products entering without the valid SASO certification, your shipment risks rejection or delays at customs.
Besides market access, the SABER certification provides the official regulatory proof of a product’s compliance with applicable Saudi technical regulations, safety standards, and conformity assessment procedures.
The products are assessed against the classification of HS Code and the technical regulation of SASO that applies to that particular product category. Incorrect classification leads to the assessment against inappropriate standards, which is automatic non-compliance.
PCAS provides precise identification of the HS code, correct mapping of technical regulations, and full alignment with the SASO conformity requirements for the reduction of rejection risks and assurance of regulatory acceptance.
The SABER Certification Process
The SABER approval process is a structured, multi-step procedure on the SASO platform. With PCAS as your certification partner, the process becomes faster, clearer, and fully compliant.
- Company & Product Registration: Start with SASO registration of your product and company on the regulatory platform, assisted by PCAS.
- Document Submission: Submit the required documents for review and validation.
- Verification & Certification: PCAS performs the verification and issues the required Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) via SABER, or a SASO IECEE certificate for regulated electrical items, or other related certificates for other products.
Obtain Your Certificate: Once verified, your official SABER Certificate of Conformity is issued, authorizing export and customs clearance.
