What is Saudi IECEE Certification?

IECEE is a certification required by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) for the local Saudi Arabian market to confirm that products comply with international safety standards. This certification is based on CB reports and CB certificates issued by CB laboratories and authorized CB bodies.

When entering the Saudi market, products must have Saber certification, and for certain products, IECEE certification is required before obtaining Saber certification. Therefore, IECEE certification is essential for these products.
