What is SABER Certification?
SABER is the Saudi Arabian Standards Organization (SASO) electronic platform for product registration and certification. Since 2019, it has been the mandatory route for all products entering the Kingdom, whether regulated or non-regulated.
Products fall into two categories: regulated products require a Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) issued annually, while non-regulated products require a Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) issued per shipment.
RACS Spain is an accredited Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) authorised to issue both PCoC and SCoC certificates for Spanish-manufactured products.
