What is SASO Certification?

SASO, or the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization, is the regulatory body responsible for setting standards and ensuring the quality and safety of products imported into Saudi Arabia. SASO certification, therefore, is essentially a stamp of approval indicating that your products comply with the country’s stringent regulations and standards.

Why is SASO Certificate Important?

• Compliance is mandatory: Without a valid SASO certificate of conformity, your products will be blocked at customs, potentially causing delays and financial losses.
• Consumer confidence: Earning SASO approval demonstrates your commitment to safety and quality, boosting consumer trust and brand reputation in the Saudi market.
• Market access: SASO certification opens the door to the vast Saudi market, with its growing population and high purchasing power.
