Learn about the Saudi Product Safety Program

What is the Saudi Product Safety Program?

The Saudi Product Safety Program (SALEEM) is the core of consumer protection. Launched in early 2016, it is a regulatory framework that aims to ensure that products circulating in the Saudi market comply with Saudi standard specifications, enhancing consumer safety and protecting them from non-compliant products.The program requires strict testing and inspections before products are allowed to enter local markets, whether imported or locally manufactured. In light of regulatory developments aimed at enhancing product quality and ensuring consumer safety, the SABER system is one of the key tools launched by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to facilitate conformity procedures for imported and locally manufactured products.

What is the Saber platform?
The SABER platform is a key tool for facilitating conformity procedures for imported and locally manufactured products. It is an electronic portal. Through the SABER platform, importers and manufacturers can obtain the conformity certificates required to enter the Saudi market with ease and transparency, contributing to accelerating commercial transactions while maintaining the required standards and specifications.
Objectives of the Saber system:

Enhancing product quality: by ensuring that products conform to Saudi standard specifications.
Consumer protection: by ensuring the safety of products before they enter the market.
Simplifying procedures: providing a unified electronic platform to facilitate the issuance of conformity certificates.
Increasing transparency: reducing bureaucratic complexity and enhancing trust between importers, manufacturers, and regulatory bodies.
