Exporters should pay attention! The latest regulatory requirements of EMC in Saudi Arabia will come into effect on May 17th, 2024

According to the announcement on EMC technical regulations issued by SASO on November 17th, 2023, the new regulations will be formally implemented from May 17th, 2024. This regulation requires all traders of related products under electromagnetic compatibility technology to act in accordance with the requirements of the new regulation when applying for product compliance certificate PCoC through SABER platform.

Specifically, traders need to submit two important documents as technical documents for certification reference:

1. Supplier conformity declaration form SDOC；;

2. EMC test report issued by an accredited laboratory.

These two documents are very important to prove the electromagnetic compatibility of products and meet the relevant technical regulations.

SDOC is a spontaneous statement with laboratory test report to prove that the product meets specific technical standards and requirements. The EMC test report is issued by an accredited laboratory, which is used to prove that the performance of products in electromagnetic compatibility conforms to relevant laws and standards.

It is very important for traders who want to export their products to Saudi Arabia to understand and abide by this new regulation. From May 17, 2024, enterprises should ensure that complete and accurate SDOC and EMC test reports and other necessary documents are provided when applying for product conformity certificates in accordance with the new regulations issued by SASO, so as to ensure that products meet the technical regulations and standards of Saudi Arabia and avoid possible trade barriers and unnecessary delays.
