What is the SASO SABER Certificate of Conformity?

Any imported items into Saudi Arabia must be accompanied by the necessary export documentation, specifically a SASO Certificate of Conformity, in order to pass through customs. The product in question has been reviewed and confirmed to meet the quality and safety standards set by the Saudi government, as attested to by this document, which attests to that fact. For the exported goods, the SASO certification serves as a passport for customs clearance. Even if a SASO has been issued, Saudi Arabian customs officials reserve the right to test and inspect an imported commodity more thoroughly once it has entered the country.

How to get a Saber certificate?

The Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization oversees the Saudi Arabian Product Safety Program, known as “SALEEM” (SASO). The SALEEM Saudi Arabia program, as its name suggests, is dedicated to ensuring the quality of goods marketed in Saudi Arabia. “SALEEM” means “without risk or harm to the user, the community, or the environment.” SALEEM uses the online SABER Certificate Saudi Arabia system to make sure that all shipments and products meet the requirements of the program.

Through its platform, SABER, also known as Saber Certification Saudi Arabia, enables the electronic acquisition of the Certificate of Conformity and Certificate of Shipment Conformity required for the admission of domestically and internationally produced consumer goods into the Saudi market. The hub’s goals are to protect businesses from fraud and make sure that customers may buy products without being concerned about their safety. Prior to bringing goods into the country after January 1, 2019, importers must register the regulated commodities in SABER, choose one of the certifying organizations permitted by the SASO SABER Certificate, and enter SABER. SABER thus provides two unique certificates to certify goods and transportation.

Customs Platform for SASO Saber Certificate

Importers, SASO-approved certification companies, Saudi Customs, and other trade authorities are all connected in one place using SASO SABER, an online verification tool. The Saudi government has developed this programme to hasten the approval of incoming shipments, reduce the counterfeiting of consumer goods, enhance product tracking, and boost the availability of goods that meet the standards set by the Saudi Arabian Standardization Organization (SASO). Saber has eliminated the need for pre-shipment inspection and certification of compliance.

Product Certification Body Accreditation

An accreditation standard for product certifying bodies is ISO 17065 (ISO/IEC 17065). As the name suggests, this standard is meant to be used by organizations that offer product certifications. The end result could be a tangible good, a service, or a procedure. Businesses are given permission by certification organizations like Markek International Certifications to advertise their products using their seals of approval. Customers from other countries can shop with confidence knowing that the goods or services they are purchasing have received this seal of approval.
