The Saudi Gate – Your Strategic Partner in Product Compliance and Corporate Success in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has emerged as a global hub for industrial growth, consumer demand, and regulatory modernization. As one of the Middle East’s largest import-driven economies and a centerpiece of Vision 2030 reforms, the Kingdom has become a high-potential destination for foreign manufacturers, distributors, and corporate investors.
To bring products into Saudi Arabia — whether consumer electronics, industrial machinery, cosmetics, or healthcare goods — companies must comply with a complex regulatory structure. Three of the most vital platforms in this ecosystem are:
- SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization)
- SABER Platform
- JEEM Platform (newer, complementary digital system for regulated products)
At The Saudi Gate, we provide full-spectrum support for companies navigating product registration and certification in Saudi Arabia. We help you decode the regulatory frameworks, streamline approvals, and gain legal market access through proper certification and compliance filings — all while safeguarding your brand’s reputation and product value.
Why Product Registration and Certification in Saudi Arabia Is Critical
Saudi Arabia has introduced clear regulatory measures to enhance product quality, protect consumers, and align with international standards. Whether you are selling smart devices, medical equipment, food supplements, toys, or industrial goods, registering and certifying your products is not optional — it is mandatory.
Non-compliance with product certification regulations can lead to:
- Shipment rejections at ports
- Import bans or penalties
- Loss of tenders and public contracts
- Reputational damage
With The Saudi Gate, you avoid these risks. Our experts manage your product lifecycle from pre-import analysis to full compliance certification under SASO, SABER, and JEEM — ensuring your market entry is smooth, fast, and legally sound.
A High-Level Overview of the Saudi Product Compliance Ecosystem
To operate within the Saudi market, your products must meet specific regulatory requirements depending on the category, purpose, and risk profile. Here’s how the system is structured:
1. SASO – Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization
SASO is the national authority for setting technical standards, conformity regulations, and metrology protocols in Saudi Arabia. It works under the Ministry of Commerce and is responsible for:
- Approving national product standards
- Establishing safety and performance benchmarks
- Overseeing the Conformity Assessment Program
- Managing the SABER and JEEM digital platforms
SASO aims to align Saudi Arabia with global regulatory systems like ISO, IEC, and GSO. Any product entering the Saudi market must adhere to SASO technical regulations, either directly or via recognized certification bodies.
2. SABER Platform – The Digital Gateway to Product Registration
SABER is SASO’s online portal designed to manage the Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) and Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) issuance process.
SABER is used by:
- Manufacturers and brand owners
- Distributors and importers
- IORs and authorized representatives
The platform distinguishes between:
- Regulated Products: Items requiring full technical file reviews and certification.
- Non-Regulated Products: Goods that need self-declaration and basic documentation.
SABER streamlines product compliance through a digital workflow:
- Product classification (regulated or not)
- Linking technical files and conformity evidence
- Coordination with approved Notified Bodies
- Generation of PCoC for each product
- Generation of SCoC for each shipment
The Saudi Gate offers end-to-end SABER registration services, helping you list, classify, certify, and launch your products efficiently.
3. JEEM Platform – The New Face of Unified Regulatory Control
JEEM is the newest platform complementing SABER, designed to enhance the transparency and efficiency of technical regulation enforcement. It allows greater coordination between SASO, SFDA, and other government bodies.
JEEM is expected to:
- House broader product technical regulations
- Track compliance across the full supply chain
- Standardize product conformity approvals
- Enable integration with other platforms like ZATCA and customs clearance
JEEM is still expanding in its functions, but manufacturers should prepare for dual-platform use and alignment.
The Saudi Gate actively monitors JEEM developments and helps clients ensure future-proof compliance strategies.
What Products Need Registration and Certification?
Virtually all imported products into Saudi Arabia fall under one of these categories:
- Consumer electronics (TVs, smartphones, appliances)
- Industrial equipment and tools
- Cosmetics and personal care
- Pharmaceuticals and supplements
- Children’s toys and baby products
- Medical devices and laboratory equipment
- Food and beverage packaging
- Building materials and machinery
- Automotive parts and accessories
- Electrical and lighting equipment
Each product has a distinct certification path. Some may require IECEE certificates, G-Mark, or special technical reviews. Others may involve SFDA registration or compliance with energy efficiency regulations.
At The Saudi Gate, we analyze your product portfolio and determine the most effective and compliant registration pathway.
