The mark serves as proof that the product is safe, reliable, and suitable for the Saudi market, enhancing consumer confidence and ensuring easy customs clearance.
Products like electrical appliances, building materials, lubricants, and household goods often require the SASO Quality Mark before sale or import into Saudi Arabia.
