SABER & SALEEM: Your Gateway to Conformity Certification in Saudi Arabia

Meeting Saudi Arabia’s strict quality standards is vital for smooth and successful trade operations. Without the proper conformity certificates, shipments risk costly rejections, unexpected delays, and potential penalties that can impact your business performance.

Watheeq, a trusted national conformity assessment body accredited by SASO, supports importers and manufacturers at every step from Product Certification to issuing your Saber Certificate. Here’s what you need to know to avoid problems at customs.

Watheeq: A SASO-Approved Conformity Assessment Body

Watheeq is officially recognized by SASO as an authorized Conformity Assessment Body, qualified to issue Certificates of Conformity for products shipped from Middle East and North Africa regions (Link).

We proudly hold ISO/IEC 17065:2012 accreditation from the Saudi Accreditation Center (SAAC), ensuring that every certification meets international best practices for impartiality and quality.

The SABER System: Your Gateway to Safe, Compliant Imports

SABER is Saudi Arabia’s secure online portal that enables importers and local manufacturers to electronically obtain the required PCoC and SCoC for all consumer goods entering the market. Its main goal is to protect businesses from counterfeit or low-quality products and to guarantee that all goods are safe for consumers.

Through SABER, companies can efficiently apply for, manage, and monitor their conformity certificates saving time and ensuring full compliance with Saudi regulations and Vision2030 quality goals.

How the SABER System Works

SABER connects businesses with recognized certification bodies like Watheeq. Through the platform (Link), you can:

✅ Register products for Product Certification

✅ Secure your PCoC for regulated items

✅ Obtain an SCoC for every shipment, verified directly with customs

Your Saber Certificate ensures customs clearance without unnecessary delays or surprises.

📝 Steps for Hassle-Free Imports

To navigate the SABER system confidently and avoid costly delays, follow these key steps:

  1. Product Registration:
    Register your product in SABER with accurate details and HS codes to check if it falls under Saudi Arabia’s Technical Regulations.
  2. Obtain a Type Approval Certificate (PCoC):
    If your product is regulated, submit the required documents — such as test reports, inspection results, and technical specs — to a SASO-approved Conformity Assessment Body like Watheeq. Once compliance is confirmed, your Product Certificate of Conformity is issued and remains valid for one year.
  3. Get a Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC):
    For each shipment, secure an SCoC by providing the PCoC (or a valid self-declaration for non-regulated goods) along with shipment documents like invoices and packing lists. SABER connects this certificate directly with customs for faster clearance.
  4. Ship with Confidence:
    With valid PCoC and SCoC in place, your cargo meets all Saudi quality requirements, minimizing the risk of delays or rejections.
