Saudi Arabia - SFDA Certificate of Conformity

Ensure efficient mandatory SFDA certification for your products

Introduction

Consignments of various food and cosmetic products exported from specific countries to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia must comply with SFDA standards to be eligible for entry into the KSA market. Saudi importers are required to register shipments and request for the ‘Certificates of Conformity’ on the local 'FASEH' platform for food and cosmetics shipments.  TÜV Rheinland is an SFDA-approved certification body and authorized to issue the required ‘Certificate of Conformity’ through the ‘FASEH’ platform. The following documents are required to initiate the approval process: 

  • Completed and signed application form

  • Test report for applicable products

  • Pro-forma invoice

  • Packing list

  • SFDA license for the exporter (applicable for selected food products)
