SASO testing and certification

SASO is the abbreviation of Saudi Arabian Standards Organization in English. SASO is responsible for formulating national standards for all daily necessities and products, and the standards also involve measurement systems, labeling, etc.

Introduction to certification

In fact, many of the SASO standards are based on the safety standards of relevant international organizations such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Like many other countries, Saudi Arabia has added a number of unique items to its standards according to the country's civil and industrial voltage, geographical and climatic environment, ethnic and religious customs, etc. In order to achieve the purpose of consumer protection, the SASO standard applies not only to products imported from abroad, but also to products produced in Saudi Arabia.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce of Saudi Arabia and SASO require all products included in the SASO certification standard to have a SASO certification certificate when entering Saudi Customs. Products without a SASO certificate will be denied entry by Saudi port customs.
