SASO certification is a mandatory conformity assessment program used to verify that specific products comply with Saudi Arabian standards and technical regulations and, in turn, to ensure quality, safety, and compliance with regulations in the Saudi market. The certification process involves testing and inspection/factory audits of products as per different conformity assessment forms (Type 1a, Type 3, and Type 5) to ensure they meet the required standards and are safe for consumers to use for products being imported or sold in Saudi Arabia.
Assuring adherence to local regulations is essential for companies wishing to conduct business in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia. Products must have SASO certification in order to be sold in Saudi Arabia. This requirement reflects the dedication of the Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization to environmental protection, environmental safety, and high-quality standards. Although this certification process can appear overwhelming, organizations can effectively navigate it provided they have a solid understanding of the standards and procedures.
