Certification

Introduction

In 2017, under the background of "Vision 2030", Saudi Arabia gradually began to implement the "Saudi Product Safety Plan" (SALEEM). In order to cooperate with the SALEEM plan smoothly, SASO developed and launched the SABER online registration platform and connected with the Saudi customs system. Use the SABER platform to query according to the customs code, the system will show which technical regulations the product needs to implement, and the type of certificate that needs to be issued through the system. Starting from January 1, 2021, all products entering Saudi Arabia must be registered on the SABER platform, otherwise customs clearance will not be granted. For products that are determined to be low-risk after being queried on the SABER platform, there is no need for a third-party certification body to issue a certification certificate. You only need to log on to the SABER platform to apply for a self-declaration, and then apply for a batch shipping certificate. All applications must be initiated by a company officially incorporated in Saudi Arabia.
