Issuing a Local Self-Declaration Certificate (local factories)

The Local Self-Declaration Certificate Issuance (Local Manufacturers) service, provided through the Saber Platform by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO), allows local manufacturers to issue a self-declaration of conformity certificate for low-risk products that meet Saudi technical regulations and standards without the need for evaluation by an external conformity body. This service empowers manufacturers to assume direct responsibility for product compliance, supporting national industrial agility and efficiency.


Through the Saber Platform, manufacturers can select a previously registered low-risk product and complete an electronic self-declaration form that includes product information, applicable technical standards, and relevant test results where available. After verifying the data and paying applicable fees, an official self-declaration certificate is issued electronically and recognized by SASO as proof of compliance with Saudi regulations.


This service streamlines the conformity process, reduces certification costs, and accelerates market access for local products. It also strengthens the credibility of Saudi manufacturing by ensuring commitment to national quality and safety standards while promoting transparency across the supply chain.
