SASO SABER
Certification
Made Simple.

SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization) is the authority that creates Saudi national standards and Technical Regulations. SABER is the electronic platform through which products are registered and certificates of conformity are issued. SASO writes the rules — SABER is where compliance is processed.

A PCoC (Product Certificate of Conformity) covers a specific product model and remains valid for multiple shipments within its validity period. An SCoC (Shipment Certificate of Conformity) is issued per individual consignment and is required for each shipment to clear Saudi customs.

Not every product is regulated. Saudi Arabia classifies products as regulated or non-regulated. Regulated products require PCoC and SCoC. Non-regulated products may only require an SCoC. The classification depends on the product type and HS code — submit your details for a specific assessment.

This depends on the product, applicable Technical Regulation, chosen conformity route and existing technical documentation. Some routes allow existing accredited test reports. Others require new testing. We assess each product individually to identify the most practical route.

The Saudi importer normally initiates the product registration on the SABER platform. The exporter and manufacturer provide the technical documentation, test reports and product information. We coordinate between both parties throughout the process.

Timelines vary by product category, available documentation, applicable regulation and whether new testing is required. Products with complete documentation and existing accredited test reports move faster. We provide a time estimate after reviewing your specific product.
