I. Introduction of the evaluation scheme
In accordance with the Saudi Cabinet Decree Nº.213, the original SASO ICCP has been terminated, and in accordance with the Cabinet Decree Nº6386, a new evaluation scheme for products exported to the Kingdom has been approved and will replace the original SASO ICCP scheme.
The new assessment scheme, mandated by the Saudi Ministry of Commerce and Trade, aims to ensure that products exported to the Kingdom meet the appropriate Saudi and international standards.
The new assessment scheme requires that all goods imported into Saudi Arabia must be accompanied by a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) - with the exception of prohibited or exempted products - to demonstrate that the product complies with the requirements of the corresponding standard (technical standard). The certificate must confirm that the products have been properly certified in the country of origin under the supervision of a duly qualified agency.
For customs clearance and delivery of goods, a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is mandatory and goods without a certificate or that do not meet the requirements of the Product Conformity Assessment Programme will be rejected at the destination.
We are not only able to provide one-stop services on Certificates of Conformity (CoC) for building sanitary ceramics products, from product testing to issuing certificates of conformity (CoC) for new product conformity assessment schemes, but also to provide exporters with information on the assessment schemes and related goods exported to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Saudi SASO certification Service center to help the majority of Chinese exporters smoothly export to the Saudi market.
SASO and the Ministry of Commerce jointly developed the International Conformity Verification Method (ICCP) in 1995, which was changed to PCP (Product Conformity Program) in 2008, and SASO's "Laboratory and Quality Control Department" was responsible for it. The requirement that imported goods must meet SASO standards or SASO-recognized equivalent standards is implemented and operated by SASO National Offices (SCO) around the world.
The PCP program provides three ways for exporters or manufacturers to obtain CoC certificates, and customers can choose the most appropriate method based on the nature of their products, the degree of compliance with the standards, and the frequency of shipments.
Route 1: Compliance verification before shipment
This method is most suitable for exporters or manufacturers who ship very small quantities. Pre-shipment inspection (PSI) and pre-shipment test (PST) should be applied before each shipment. If both are qualified, the CoC certificate can be obtained.
Route 2: Registration and pre-shipment inspection
This method is suitable for most customers, and its advantage is that each shipment inspection (PSI) is necessary, but each batch of goods does not need to be tested before shipment (PST). Customers can obtain a Statement for Registration (SfR) by submitting a declaration of conformity, and providing a test report that conforms to the importing country and relevant international or domestic standards, and stating that the product has met the basic requirements and national differences of the importing country.
Route 3: Formal recognition certificate
This method can not only save the inspection fee or test fee before each shipment, simplify the repeated application procedure, but also ensure the delivery time, so it is favored by some large companies that ship more frequently or on a larger scale and pay attention to quality and reputation. Exporters or manufacturers can only obtain a Statement for Licence(SfL) certificate if their products fully comply with the mandatory standards of the importing and exporting country. The certificate is valid for one year and can be renewed upon submission of an updated factory inspection report, payment of an annual fee and review by the RLC. Products that obtain SfL certificates no longer require pre-shipment inspection (PSI) for each batch of goods, and are reduced to a few sampling inspections a year (generally 2-3 times/year, depending on the condition of the product).
