Saudi Arabia · Product Classification

Is Your Product Regulated in Saudi Arabia?

Knowing your product's classification under SASO is the first step. This determines which certificate you need to enter the Kingdom and whether testing is required.

Higher Risk

Regulated Products

Products covered under specific Saudi technical regulations. Typically include electronics, automotive parts, toys, building materials, and personal protective equipment.

  • Required:Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC), valid for 1 year
  • Plus:Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) for every consignment
  • Testing:Mandatory third-party test report from ISO/IEC 17025 lab
  • Examples:LED lighting, electrical appliances, toys, ACs, cables
Lower Risk

Non-Regulated Products

Products not covered under any specific technical regulation. Entry into Saudi Arabia is permitted with simplified self-declaration documentation.

  • Required:Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) only
  • Basis:Self-declaration by the importer or exporter
  • Testing:No mandatory third-party testing required
  • Validity:Per shipment basis, one SCoC per consignment

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about SASO and SABER certification for Saudi Arabia.

What is the difference between SASO and SABER?
SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organisation) is the regulatory authority that sets product standards for Saudi Arabia. SABER is the online platform launched by SASO where exporters and importers register products and obtain Product CoC (PCoC) and Shipment CoC (SCoC). In short, SASO is the regulator, SABER is the platform you use to comply.
What is the difference between PCoC and SCoC?
PCoC (Product Certificate of Conformity) is issued for a regulated product after testing and review, and is valid for one year. SCoC (Shipment Certificate of Conformity) is required for every individual shipment to Saudi Arabia, regardless of whether the product is regulated or non-regulated. Regulated products need both, non-regulated products need only an SCoC.
How long does SASO/SABER certification take?
For products with existing ISO/IEC 17025 test reports, PCoC issuance can be completed in 5 to 10 working days. Products requiring fresh testing may take 3 to 4 weeks. SCoC for individual shipments is typically issued within 1 to 2 working days. Markek's team works to deliver the fastest TAT in the industry for every scheme.
Do I need a Saudi importer to apply for SABER?
Yes. The SABER platform is operated by the Saudi importer or consignee. The exporter typically initiates the PCoC process with a Conformity Assessment Body like Markek, while the Saudi importer registers the SCoC for each shipment. Markek coordinates with both parties to ensure smooth approval.
Is third-party testing always required?
Third-party testing from an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory is mandatory for all regulated products. Non-regulated products generally do not require testing and can move forward on a self-declaration basis through SCoC. Our compliance team will tell you exactly what your product needs in the initial assessment call.
Which certifications do you provide? Do you cover countries other than Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Markek is a NABCB and SASO accredited Conformity Assessment Body offering 33+ certifications across 15+ global markets. Beyond Saudi SASO/SABER, SFDA, IECEE, SQM, EER, and G-Mark, we also handle UAE (ECAS, EQM, ESMA, TDRA, RoHS), India (BIS CRS, BEE, EPR, ISI/FMCS, PESO, TEC, WPC, CDSCO), Africa (Egypt GOEIC, Kenya/Tanzania PVoC, SA NRCS/ICASA), other GCC states (Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Iraq CoC), and Europe and USA (CE, FCC, RoHS). One partner. Every market.
