SASO Certification (Saudi Arabia)

Introduction to SASO Certification
The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) has made SASO Certification a compulsory measure to ensure products adhere to Saudi safety and technical standards. It is administered through the SABER platform. Before goods are imported or sold in Saudi Arabia, SABER registration is mandatory to prevent shipment rejection and penalties.
