The SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate is a Saudi Arabian conformity initiative set up by SASO with the aim to ensure that the regulated products have been tested and certified to the required IEC standards by an IECEE Certified Body. The SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate is valid for 1 year or 3 years from the date of issue.
Provided that the products are listed on exactly the same IECEE CB Test Report and IECEE CB Certificate, it is possible to certify more than 1 model number under the same SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate.
When the product (the same product) has to be imported by different local companies, it is a must to apply for a SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate per importer. Each certificate is registered and linked to one specific importer’s Commercial Registration (CR) number. In other words, only the importer indicated in the said certificate can use the certificate.
