Mandatory SASO RoHS Compliance (ksa)
Certification and Technical File Management for KSA Electronics Market.
Since July 2022, exporting Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) to Saudi Arabia requires mandatory certification under the SASO RoHS Technical Regulation. Unlike previous rules, non-compliance means your product - including spare parts - will be blocked by Saudi Customs and denied entry to the market.
