SASO is the abbreviation of the English Saudi Arabian Standards Organization, that is, the Saudi Arabian Standards Organization. SASO is responsible for formulating national standards for all daily necessities and products, and the standards also involve measurement systems, labels, etc.
1. Introduction to Certification
In fact, many 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 some unique items to the standard according to its own country's civil and industrial voltage, geographical and climatic environment, ethnic and religious habits, etc. In order to achieve the purpose of protecting consumers, SASO standards not only apply to products imported from abroad, but also apply to products produced in Saudi Arabia.
The Ministry of Industry and Commerce of Saudi Arabia and SASO require that all products included in the SASO certification standard have SASO certification when entering Saudi customs. Products without SASO certificates will be refused entry by Saudi port customs.
