Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) for Saudi Arabia – Your Ultimate Guide with TUV Certs
Enabling Global Trade Compliance through Reliable Certification Services
Are you expanding your company in Saudi Arabia? To make it easier to enter the market, you must obtain the Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) as a manufacturer, exporter, or distributor. The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) mandates that all regulated products be certified before being allowed to enter the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) through the Saudi Product Safety Program (SALEEM).
By providing full assistance in obtaining your PCoC and Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) via the SABER platform, we at TUV Certs streamline your certification process.
What is a Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC)?
A formal certificate known as the PCoC attests to a product’s inspection and demonstrated compliance with the SASO Technical Regulations and Standards. All products that fall under regulated product categories must undergo certification, which is a crucial export process step.
The SABER system, SASO’s proprietary online platform for product registration and conformance certification, is used to transmit the PCoC online. Without this certificate, it cannot be released for shipment clearance at Saudi ports.
Why the PCoC is Important to Exporters
- Requirement for Regulated Products: In order to guarantee adherence to pertinent safety, performance, and environmental standards, products under SASO’s purview must be evaluated.
- Customs Clearance Requirement: In order to clear shipments into Saudi borders, the PCoC must be used before the Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC).
- Risk mitigation: Prevents costly importation-related delays, penalties, or rejections.
- Creates Brand Image: Adheres to global safety and quality standards.
The SABER Certification Process Explained
The following actions must be taken in order to abide by SASO regulations:
Step 1: Registration for SABER:
Register your products in the relevant categories after creating an account on the SABER platform.
Step 2: Submit an application for the PCoC
Send test results, product details, and technical documentation to a Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) that has been authorized by SASO. The product’s adherence to pertinent standards is attested by this documentation.
Step 3: Certification & Review:
A PCoC is issued after the CAB reviews your application and determines compliance. All subsequent shipments of the certified product are covered by this one-year certificate.
Step 4: Request SCoC for each shipment:
Use SABER to apply for a Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) for every shipment. This certification attests to the shipment’s
