Saudi SABER Certification Service

With the launch of the Saudi Product Safety Program (SALEEM), SASO has launched an electronic platform named SABER for conformity assessment. SASO requires manufacturers to apply for product certificates and shipment certificates via the SABER system for products covered by technical regulations, as well as self-declaration documents for general goods, to meet Saudi import control requirements.

What is SABER Certification

01
SABER is a mandatory conformity assessment scheme for overseas manufacturers exporting goods to Saudi Arabia. All Chinese exporters need to complete relevant registration and certification through the SABER system.
02
SALEEM and SABER are upgraded programs replacing the traditional SASO certification. SALEEM applies to local Saudi enterprises, while SABER is mainly for overseas exporters.

Key Changes of SABER Certification

01
SABER is a new conformity assessment project for regulated products and batch shipments entering Saudi Arabia.
02
The SALEEM framework adopts the unified online SABER system for centralized management.
03
As an official online tool released by SASO, SABER is used for product registration and issuance of CoC conformity certificates.
04
Products are classified into high, medium and low risk levels. Different inspection procedures and authorized institutions will be adopted according to risk classification.

Relationship Between SALEEM, SABER and SASO

01
SALEEM and SABER are upgraded and updated versions based on the original SASO scheme and will fully replace traditional SASO certification.
