SASO Certification Services
Ensuring Product Compliance with Saudi Arabia’s National
Standards Authority. The institutional standard for Saudi
market entry.
What Is SASO Certification?
The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization
(SASO) is the supreme regulatory authority in the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia responsible for setting and enforcing national
standards for products and services.
SASO certification confirms that a product complies with the relevant
Saudi national standards, technical regulations, and safety
requirements applicable for import and sale within the Kingdom. SASO operates multiple certification programs, including conformity
assessments for electrical, mechanical, chemical, and construction
products. Obtaining SASO certification is an essential step for all
international exporters seeking access to the Saudi market.
Why SASO Certification Is Necessary
Saudi Arabia enforces strict product safety regulations to
protect its population and economy. SASO mandates that
imported products meet defined quality benchmarks
before customs clearance is granted. Non-compliant
products are subject to rejection, destruction, or seizure at
the port of entry.
