Saudi Arabia is one of the largest and most promising markets in the Middle East, attracting manufacturers and exporters worldwide. A key step for successful market entry is obtaining SASO certification — official confirmation that products comply with the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization requirements. WorldWideBridge will help you navigate this mandatory process quickly and efficiently, minimizing risks and delays.
What is SASO Certification and Why Is It Important?

SASO is Saudi Arabia’s national standards and certification system aimed at ensuring product safety, quality, and compliance. SASO certification is mandatory for a wide range of products, including household appliances, electrical equipment, construction materials, and more.
  • • Mandatory Nature and Control
Any product imported into Saudi Arabia must have SASO certification or be exempted according to the list of exceptions. Lack of certification leads to customs delays, fines, and sales bans.
  • • Certification Process
The procedure includes application submission, technical documentation review, product testing, and, if necessary, manufacturing inspections.
  • • Technical Requirements and Standards
SASO aligns with international standards (IEC, ISO, EN) but also incorporates Saudi-specific regulations. Precise compliance and proper documentation preparation are essential.

How SASO Certification Impacts Exporting 

  • Speeds Up Customs Clearance
SASO certification facilitates customs clearance and reduces delays.
  • Builds Trust with Buyers and Partners
The certificate confirms product quality and safety, which is crucial for establishing long-term relationships with local distributors and consumers.
  • Ensures Compliance with Market Updates
Saudi Arabia regularly updates standards, including sustainability and energy efficiency initiatives. SASO certification helps timely adaptation to these changes.Why Choose WorldWideBridge for SASO Certification?
