Explanation and key points of SASO certification

The full English name of SASO is the abbreviation of Saudi Arabian Standards Organization, which is the Saudi Arabian Standards Organization. SASO is responsible for formulating national standards for all daily necessities and products. The standards also involve measurement systems, labels, etc.

SASO Certification - LED Lighting Certification for Saudi Arabia

SASO certification is the collective name for export certification to Saudi Arabia. In fact, it should be called Certificate Of Conformity certification. Translated into Declaration of Conformity, COC certification. Therefore, it is wrong to print the words SASO certification on the surface of the product. Such printing may lead to unsuccessful customs clearance.

In fact, many of the SASO standards are established 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 based on its country's civil and industrial voltages, 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 covered by SASO certification standards have SASO certification certificates when entering Saudi Customs. Products without SASO certificates will be refused entry by Saudi port customs.
