FAQ

Frequently asked.

What's the difference between SABER and SASO?

SASO is the Saudi standards regulator. SABER is the digital platform manufacturers and importers use to register products under SASO regulations and obtain product type and shipment certificates.

Do you cover all GCC countries?

Yes — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Most GCC countries accept GSO standards, which simplifies multi-market entry.

Are existing CE certificates accepted?

Sometimes — partially. CE often reduces the testing scope but a local product type certificate is usually still required for customs clearance and retail distribution.
