Saber Platform
The Saber Platform is one of the most important electronic systems integrated with the Saudi customs clearance platform FASAH. It ensures that all products entering the Saudi market comply with approved Saudi standards and regulations.
What Is the Saber Electronic Platform?
The Saber Platform is an online system launched by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) to streamline the registration of consumer products and verify their compliance with Saudi technical regulations and standards.
Through the Saber system, manufacturers and importers can obtain product conformity certificates, such as Certificate of Conformity (CoC), SASO Certificate, Quality Certificates, and Product Compliance Certificates
It is important to note that there is no certificate called “Saber Certificate.” Instead, the platform serves as a digital system through which conformity certificates are issued and managed.
Objectives of the Saber Platform
The Saber platform was developed to achieve several important regulatory and economic goals, including:
- Ensuring that all products available in the Saudi market comply with approved technical standards and regulations.
- Strengthening consumer protection by preventing non-compliant or unsafe products from entering the market.
- Simplifying and accelerating conformity procedures through digital product registration and certification processes.
- Providing accurate and comprehensive information about registered products and their compliance status according to SASO standards.
- Facilitating the entry of compliant products into the Saudi market, thereby enhancing competitiveness among manufacturers and suppliers.
- Supporting smoother trade operations between Saudi Arabia and the GCC countries by standardizing regulatory procedures.
- Encouraging local industries to develop higher-quality products that meet international and regional standards.
