Major Update | Export Saudi Arabia will implement SALEEM/SABER Plan 

At present, the Saudi Standard Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) has announced the formal launch of the SABER electronic certification system platform. SABER is an electronic network service tool designed by SASO and implemented by SALEEM, a Saudi product safety project. The purpose of SABER is to register and issue certificates of conformity assessment for consumer goods before entering the Saudi market. 

The importance of SABER certificates is to confirm that products conform to Saudi standards and norms, and to protect investors from fraud when importing any high- or medium-risk products, while preventing false and substandard products and ensuring that products do not affect consumers'health and safety. 

SABER Electronic Platform makes it easier for beneficiaries, local suppliers and manufacturers to access the global SASO accredited conformity assessment bodies to electronically inspect products and issue conformity certificates. 

SASO has issued a list of technical regulations for various products, including building materials and construction products, detergents, lubricants, elevators and other mechanical products, automotive parts, textiles and so on. Products covered by technical regulations are called controlled products, and SABER certification can be started. With the implementation of the project, it is expected that the scope of controlled products will be gradually expanded.

At present, SABER system has been put on line successfully, and the operation of SABER system has been enforced. Certificates will be issued automatically by SABER system.Importers must access the system, register controlled products and select conformity assessment agencies (CBs) approved by SALEEM registration, such as Pioneer Testing Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd to process their application for certification of imported controlled products.
