The SASO Saudi Arabia certification program is a system designed by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) and encompasses regulations for the implementation of compliance procedures to ensure that goods, products and services to be sent to Saudi Arabia comply with the relevant standards.
In principle, these regulations apply to all goods and products exported to Saudi Arabia. Only the following four product groups were excluded: foods and agricultural products, medical and cosmetic products, medical devices and equipment, and crude oil.
The SASO program also includes arrangements for coordinating standardization efforts, preparing quality and compliance procedures, ensuring compliance with measurement and calibration in the country, and setting mutual recognition criteria with the same organizations in other countries.
The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) is, within its responsibilities, the only competent body for standardization activities and quality systems, including testing, inspection and inspection.
The SASO program aims to ensure that goods and products imported into the Saudi markets comply with the relevant legal regulations and standards to protect the national economy and consumers. Within the scope of Certificate of Conformity (CoC) studies, SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization) requires the SASO certificate to be certified according to the technical regulations and standards in order to facilitate the customs clearance to the companies that will send products to Saudi Arabia. In this way, import transactions are completed without any technical obstacles in Saudi borders.
In short, the SASO Certificate is accepted as a passport for entry into the Saudi markets. In the absence of a certificate of conformity (CoC) for the products, they are subjected to additional inspections and tests at customs to ensure that the products comply with technical regulations or standards. This naturally leads to prolongation of customs procedures and additional costs.
Firms exporting to Saudi Arabia must apply to an accredited laboratory to prove that the goods and products meet the necessary eligibility requirements. Advanced laboratories prepare a certificate of conformity (CoC) and test report based on the ISO and IEC requirements of the products and the criteria contained in the relevant technical regulations and standards issued by SASO. The tests are carried out in accordance with ISO / IEC guidelines 65. article. Whether the test and inspection work is carried out in the warehouse or field of the firm or at the export port, the products must be sealed by the Certification Body (CB) to ensure that they are not subsequently changed.
Accredited laboratories under the Certification Body or its legal responsibility must concentrate specifically on health and safety testing. You also have to take random samples from the products for testing.
Naturally, with these checks to be carried out before loading, it is ensured that the loading is done correctly and in compliance with the necessary conditions and kirtas, even if the shipment is done by sea or road. Such audits also ensure quantity verification and traceability of products. Packing codes of the products and product codes and facility and stock numbers are verified according to the invoice. If the products are to be transported by container, the compliance and cleanliness of the containers with the transportation conditions are also inspected within this scope. Damage observed during storage and loading operations is also reported. In short, it is proven that the products will be shipped in a reliable and high quality way.
