◉ Certification Introduction
The Saudi Quality Mark (SQM) is a product quality mark certification implemented by the Saudi Bureau of Standards (SASO). Products within its scope undergo qualification assessment by third-party certification bodies authorized by SASO, obtain certificates issued by SASO, and affix a mark on the product to indicate that it meets the requirements of relevant technical regulations and standards issued by SASO.
SASO has implemented mandatory SOM certification requirements for certain high-risk product categories. Products within the mandatory certification scope must complete certification and affix a logo before they can be sold in the local market.
Other products within the scope of non mandatory certification can also apply for certification on a voluntary basis. We encourage products within the scope of non mandatory certification with long-term export demand to apply for certification, in order to quickly enter the Saudi market and increase the confidence and recognition of government regulatory agencies, buyers, and consumers in product quality.

◉ Why apply for SQM?
Products with SQM logo affixed indicate that they have passed the certification mode of "testing+factory review". According to the requirements of Saudi technical regulations and standards, they have undergone comprehensive evaluations in terms of safety, energy efficiency, environmental protection, etc., which helps to gain the trust of local consumers and governments and improve the competitiveness of the products in the Saudi market.
In addition, certified products can directly obtain customs clearance certificates through the SABER system, without the need for third-party agencies to intervene and review, greatly improving the convenience of export customs clearance for enterprises.
