SASO Mark

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia requires that all consignments of products to be exported to the country should be accompanied by a Certificate of Conformity (CoC).

The Saudi Arabian Conformity Assessment Programme (CAP) is a strict set of guidelines implemented by The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO).

It provides pre-shipment verification of conformity to standards required by Saudi customs officials and verifies that products being imported into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia conform with applicable safety, quality and technical regulations and standards before shipment. Standards relating to the Islamic Religion and National culture are also given priority.

The SASO Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is a mandatory document used by Saudi Customs Services for clearance of goods going to Saudi borders and ports.

The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) Certificate of Conformity (CoC) scheme ensures that all products entering into Saudi Arabia are in conformity with national product safety and quality requirements.

Importers require SASO conformity certification at customs to prove product conformity and to clear the shipment from the port. The scheme applies to all types of products, excluding a small scope of non-regulated products.
