In the realm of international trade, ensuring the safety and quality of imported products is paramount. For those venturing into the Saudi Arabian market, the Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organisation (SASO) have set the sails with the Saudi Product Safety Program (SALEEM). At the heart of this program lies the SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate, a key document for importers of household electrical and electronic (EE) products.
Understanding the SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate
Initiated by SASO to safeguard the Saudi market, the SALEEM program necessitates adherence to technical regulations and quality standards. The SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate, mandated since February 15, 2018, is a linchpin in this process. It testifies that products comply with the technical regulations and standards set by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This recognition certificate can seamlessly replace the Product Certificate of Conformity for specific EE products under SASO technical regulations.
