Introduction of certification
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for imported and domestic local products to carry out compulsory standards plan, in order to ensure public health, the safety of the consumer, Saudi local security, islamic moral and the environment, and guard against trade fraud. The Saudi ministry of commerce and trade (MoCI) is responsible for ensuring that imports of Saudi products comply with local standards and that Saudi Arabia's local products are jointly managed and implemented by the Saudi council, the ministry of agriculture and the ministry of commerce and trade.
In 2004, Saudi Arabia will decree no. 6386, changes to the original conformity certification program, all consumer goods are included in the scope of the regulation of the plan, these goods must provide a valid certificate of conformity (CoC), can only be allowed to enter the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Category 4: chemical products.
Category five: cosmetics.
Category 6: machinery
Category 7: other products.
The following are not consumer products: medical devices; Medical products; Food; Military products.
Product certification model
Many people who apply for SASO certification do not know which model to apply for, and there is no long-term effective saso-coc certificate. In fact, the CoC currently used for customs clearance is one-off, even if it is "registration mode" or "type approval mode", it cannot be used directly for customs clearance.
You can choose the following patterns according to the specific situation:
Disposable mode
Exporters provide test report, packing list and invoice, application form, authorization (INTERTEK requirements), product pictures and packing requirements (SGS) data - > to the license issuing agency authorized by the Saudi apply for one-time COC certificate of conformity to the license issuing agency will first after receipt of the information to the application for data review - such as found that the problem - would put forward rectification - such as no problem is approved - payment issued by the inspection notice and payment notice to the applicant to provide water single to his body, his agency to arrange inspector to on-site inspection to the inspection is completed, if the inspection found that the problem to the inspection again, if the inspection qualified - will inform inspection The goods have been qualified. The applicant shall provide the final packing list invoice to the issuing authority, issuing the certificate of the certificate issued by the issuing authority, verifying it, issuing the COC certificate and sending it to the applicant. This is a one-time SASO certification application process.
This approach is best suited for exporters with very few shipments, and the risk is that each shipment must be sampled. Manufacturers unpredictable sampling test site before the inspection, and testing laboratory in the testing process does not contact the manufacturer, whatever the outcome, the test report will be submitted directly CO, once the test is not passed, cannot get the CoC certificate, need to arrange the inspection.
The largest number of exporters chose this type of authentication mode, accounting for 80%.
Registration mode
Provided by the factory or the exporter of the whole project test report, registration form, authorization data to to the license issuing agency to apply for registration mode, a releasing authority shall accept and review - if data audit through will not require repair and audit through to issue a draft SASO certificate of registration, the applicant, when confirmed model registration certificate issued to obtain registration mode after the SASO certificate, the applicant or the exporter provide packing list and invoice and application form, the registration certificate scan - to the license issuing agency to apply for COC certificate - a releasing authority shall review, If there is no problem to issue the inspection notice, the payment will be arranged, and the inspection will be completed. If the goods are inspected, the COC certificate will be issued and the certificate will be reinspected.
In the registration mode, it is convenient to have a license issuing authority to do the registration mode certificate. It is not necessary to inspect the goods every time, and can deduct 30% to 40% of the inspection proportion. If there are 1-20 goods per year, it is recommended to select the registration certificate of the institution.
This method reduced the test before shipment, in principle, only occasionally sampling observation, the number of sampling and a reflection of the product in the Saudi market have a certain relationship. Of course, good or bad relations with the certification body, also have a little relationship, as long as your products are in complete accord with before shipment of the product, sometimes if the shipment very urgent, you can talk with his agency coordination, exempted from inspection application. This is also the advantage of applying for the registration certificate.
Type approval mode
By the factory apply for type approval (must be factory) to license issuing agency for factory inspection, sampling test - if the factory inspection and sample test is qualified to issue a type approval certificate, unqualified rectification, until qualified. Type approval certificate, apply to the license issuing agency for COC certificate, general will request the inspection for the first time, after the second time, will not be required inspection, provide the packing list and invoice, form and type approval certificate scanning to his center, general can issue the COC certificate. This is the advantage of type approval certificate. It's just more trouble.
This approach can not only save time, please before shipment inspection fee or simplify the repetitive application process, and can guarantee delivery time, which is part of the shipment is frequent and scale is larger, apply to pay attention to quality and credibility of big companies. The certificate shall be valid for one year, but the annual inspection report and annual fee shall be submitted for renewal.
Saudi Arabia's ICCP plan has amended the requirements of route 3, which allows for direct application of type approval permits. The original SASO ICCP plan requires only route 2 to adopt approach 3.
Note: some products are special, the process is a little different, and the regulatory agencies are different, so the above content is just a rough process. The specific situation should be based on reality. The above process is for reference only.
Certification inspection requires supervision of products.
Toys, auto parts (limited to these parts: brake pad, brake disc, filter, suspension system, drive shaft, the inside of the car glass products such as toughened glass Windows), motor vehicle passenger car with inflatable tires, electric heater, water heater, such as hot kettle, hair dryer, mobile phone charger, adapter, plug and socket.

The travel expenses of the surveyor are not calculated in the inspection fee and are reimbursed according to actual expenses.
INTERTEK, SGS and BV are the issuing institutions. If they are not in remote cities, they generally do not receive travel expenses, and other agencies generally charge travel expenses. This is probably the most advantageous place for INTERTEK, SGS and BV.
