China export standards for Saudi Arabia (SASO/SABER)

Saudi Arabia's product conformity regime is administered by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO). The SABER electronic platform is used to obtain Product Conformity Certificates (PCC) and Shipment Conformity Certificates (SCC), which are required for regulated products at the border. Saudi technical standards (SS) often align with Gulf Cooperation Council (GSO) standards or IEC/ISO references. For medical devices, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) is the competent regulator. Exporters from China must work with SASO-approved certification bodies and ensure that products are listed on the SABER system prior to shipment. The comparison pages below detail how Chinese standards map against SASO/SABER requirements for each product.
