Unlocking Saudi Market Access Through Cotecna’s Expertise.
The Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization (SASO) sets the benchmarks for quality, safety, and metrology for products entering the Saudi market. For global businesses, navigating these requirements can be complex. This is where Cotecna steps in, offering tailored solutions to streamline compliance and ensure hassle-free market access.
With deep expertise in inspection, certification, and testing, Cotecna plays a pivotal role in helping manufacturers, exporters, and traders align with SASO standards.
This article explores explains how Cotecna’s services make compliance in Saudi Arabia seamless and efficient.
SASO Notification Programs: Ensuring Flexible Compliance
SASO Notification Programs delegate certification responsibilities to Accredited Certification Bodies (CBs), like Cotecna, who work independently with their clients. These programs are highly flexible, allowing businesses to choose their preferred CB while ensuring compliance with strict regulatory standards.
How Cotecna Supports with SASO Notification Programs:
- SABER Certificate Assistance: Cotecna guides businesses through the SABER portal to obtain product certifications necessary for customs clearance.
- Quality Management Systems (QMS): Cotecna ensures businesses meet ISO-aligned standards, demonstrating operational excellence.
- Inspection and Testing: Conducting product tests and inspections to validate conformity with regulations.

SASO works closely with Cotecna, to ensure products meet Saudi standards. While SASO retains the authority to issue certifications, Cotecna plays a vital role in guiding businesses through the process from technical reviews to factory audits.
- Technical File Reviews: Cotecna’s experts meticulously review client documents for accuracy and alignment with SASO standards, helping speed up approvals.
- Factory Audits: Cotecna performs site inspections to assess manufacturing processes, ensuring adherence to quality and safety requirements.
- Managing Key Certifications: Cotecna facilitates compliance for programs such as the Saudi Quality Mark (SQM) and Certificates of Conformity (CoCs).

Through this collaborative approach, Cotecna ensures businesses can confidently progress through SASO programs, backed by accuracy, efficiency, and global expertise.
