SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate

For safe and compliant market entry in Saudi Arabia

Overview

Overview

SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate is required for regulated electrical and electronic products entering Saudi Arabia. It verifies compliance with international safety and quality standards. Without this certification, shipments of covered products cannot clear Saudi Customs.

What is SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate?

The SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate is a mandatory requirement for certain regulated electrical and electronic products imported into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This certification ensures that products meet international safety and performance standards before clearance by Saudi Customs.
Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization (SASO) has confirmed that all products covered under the SASO IECEE system are subject to customs verification to ensure compliance. Without this certification, shipments of regulated products will not be allowed into the Saudi market.
