Answer: HA Group provides assistance with various product certification, testing and compliance requirements, including SASO SABER, G-Mark, SFDA, CE-related services, Saudi EER, Higg FEM and other applicable certification and compliance services. The applicable certification depends on the product, destination market and relevant regulations.

Answer: SASO SABER is the Saudi conformity assessment platform used for applicable products entering the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Depending on the product and applicable regulations, the process may involve product conformity assessment and shipment-related certification requirements.

HA Group can assist clients with the applicable SABER certification process according to their product and shipment requirements.

Answer: Manufacturers, exporters and importers involved in supplying regulated products to Saudi Arabia may need to comply with SABER requirements. The exact requirements depend on the product category, HS code and applicable Saudi technical regulations.

We recommend sharing your product details with us so that the applicable requirements can be assessed.

The applicable requirements depend on the product category and relevant Gulf technical regulations. HA Group can assist businesses in understanding and arranging applicable G-Mark certification services.
