SASO CoC

SASO Certificate of Conformity (CoC ) is a product conformity Program implanted by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and quality organization (SASO) for the imported products, which requires all products to obtain the CoC for customs clearance to place the products in the Saudi market.

The CoC confirms that the products comply with the relevant technical regulations and meet SASO standards for safety and suitability for use in Saudi Arabia.
