What is the SABER platform?
SABER is an electronic system launched by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) to regulate product registration and conformity verification in line with Saudi technical regulations. It is used to issue Product Conformity Certificates and Shipment Conformity Certificates based on product classification.
How does the SABER system work?
1) Products subject to technical regulations (high/medium risk)
These products are regulated and usually require conformity assessment by an approved Conformity Assessment Body (third party), then issuance of a Product Conformity Certificate. They may fall under pathways such as: PCoC, Quality Mark, Gulf Conformity Mark, or recognition certificates for certain categories.
2) Products not subject to technical regulations (low risk)
These products typically do not require a Product Conformity Certificate, but may require a declaration / simpler procedures, then issuance of a Shipment Conformity Certificate for the shipment.
