The SABER (Saudi Product Safety Program) certification system has been implemented to ensure the safety and quality of products that are imported, distributed, and sold in Saudi Arabia. This certification system has had a significant impact on both importers and consumers in the country.
For importers, SABER certification is mandatory for most products, including electrical and electronic equipment, toys, cosmetics, and textiles. Without proper certification, products cannot be imported or sold in Saudi Arabia, which can significantly impact the importers’ business.
The certification process is rigorous, involving product testing and evaluation to ensure compliance with Saudi Arabian safety and quality standards.The certification process involves product testing and evaluation by accredited laboratories, ensuring that the products are safe for use and meet the technical regulations and standards. As a result, many importers have had to adjust their production processes, supply chains, and distribution networks to meet these requirements.
On the other hand, SABER certification has had a positive impact on consumers in Saudi Arabia. The certification system has helped to ensure that the products available in the market are safe and of high quality, protecting consumers from potential harm and providing them with peace of mind.
Consumers are now more aware of the importance of product safety and quality, and they can easily check whether the products they are purchasing are SABER certified through a mobile application. This has led to an increase in consumer confidence and trust in the products they buy, improving their overall experience and satisfaction.
Overall, the implementation of the SABER certification system has had a significant impact on the importers and consumers in Saudi Arabia. While it has presented some challenges for importers, it has ultimately helped to improve the quality and safety of products available in the market, benefiting consumers and the country as a whole.
