What is SASO certification?
SASO is short for Saudi Arabian Standards Organization, namely Saudi Arabia standards organization. SASO is responsible for preparing national standards for commodities and products, and standards also include the measurement system, identification and others. In fact, most of SASO standards are established based on safety standards of some relevant international organizations, such as International electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Like many other countries, Saudi Arabia also adds some unique items in standards according to its own civil and industrial voltages, geography and climate, ethnic religious habits and others.
In order to achieve the purpose of consumer protection, SASO standard applies to not only imported products, but also local products in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabian Ministry of Commerce and Industry and SASO require that all products certified by SASO must provide the SASO certificate to pass Saudi Customs. Saudi Customs will refuse all products without SASO certificates.
