SASO Certification/
SABER Certification
The Saudi Product Safety Programme (SABER), implemented by the Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization (SASO) in support of the Vision 2030 Programme, aims to regulate and oversee the importation and sale of specific products in the Saudi market, ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards. All shipments entering the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through Customs must be accompanied by a Shipment Certificate of Conformity. This certificate will undergo inspection by Saudi Customs at the port of entry. Shipments arriving without a Shipment Certificate of Conformity will not be allowed entry into the Kingdom.
Product Certificate of Conformity (PCOC):
A Product Certificate of Conformity, commonly referred to as “PCOC,” is a crucial document that verifies a product’s compliance with the relevant Technical Regulations of SASO. This certificate ensures that the product meets all necessary standards and regulations, confirming its safety and reliability for consumers. Obtaining a PCOC not only demonstrates adherence to legal requirements but also enhances consumer trust and confidence in the product’s quality and safety. By securing a PCOC, manufacturers and suppliers can facilitate smoother market access, reduce the risk of non-compliance penalties, and promote a safer consumer environment.
Shipment Certificate of Conformity Commonly known as “SCOC”
Once the Product Certificate of Conformity (PCOC) is issued, the next crucial step is to obtain the Shipment Certificate of Conformity, commonly known as “SCOC.” This certificate is essential for clearing goods through customs, ensuring that the shipped products comply with the relevant regulations and standards. Without an SCOC, goods may face delays, fines, or even rejection at customs checkpoints. Securing an SCOC not only facilitates smoother customs clearance but also assures regulatory authorities of the product’s compliance during transit, ultimately contributing to a more efficient and reliable supply chain.
