SASO — Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

SASO is the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization — the national regulatory authority responsible for establishing the technical regulations, conformity assessment procedures, metrology infrastructure, and quality assurance standards governing every product manufactured in or imported into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the institutional gateway through which approximately every product entering Saudi customs must pass conformity verification, and the regulatory anchor of both the Made-in-Saudi industrial diversification initiative and the broader Saudi consumer protection architecture. Established in 1972 to govern the organisational and executive tasks related to standards, metrology, and quality in Saudi Arabia, SASO operates the Saudi Product Safety Programme (SALEEM) — the unified product safety framework whose name in Arabic indicates that products are “safe, secure and free of flaws that may directly or indirectly harm individuals, society or the environment” — and the SABER electronic conformity assessment platform through which all product registration, conformity certification, customs clearance documentation, and the broader regulatory workflow operates digitally. Headquartered in Riyadh, SASO is the institutional intersection point at which the Vision 2030 industrial diversification ambition, the Saudi consumer protection mandate, and the broader regulatory framework supporting Saudi commercial integration into the global trading system simultaneously operate.
