The SASO Certificate of Conformity (SASO CoC) is an official certification issued for products manufactured locally or imported into Saudi Arabia. It confirms that these products comply with the applicable technical regulations and standards.
What Is the SASO Certificate?
The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) issues the SASO Certificate of Conformity, which verifies that products meet the approved Saudi technical standards and regulatory requirements.
This certificate is obtained through the SABER Platform, where businesses select an approved conformity assessment body recognized by SASO and register the products that require certification within the system.
The SABER platform also helps simplify and accelerate the procedures for entering products into the Saudi market, reducing the time required for compliance verification through a fully digital process.
Benefits of Obtaining a SASO Certificate
Obtaining a SASO Certificate of Conformity provides several advantages:
- Ensures that the goods of importers or local manufacturers comply with the requirements of SASO.
- Facilitates smooth customs clearance of shipments without delays or complications.
- Helps avoid financial losses that may occur if non-compliant goods are rejected.
Steps to Obtain a SASO Certificate
To obtain a SASO CoC, the importer or manufacturer must complete the following steps:
- Log in to the SABER platform and create an account.
- Submit an application to register a conformity certificate for products that are subject to Saudi technical regulations through the electronic services menu.
