As a global leader in quality conformity assessment, TÜV Rheinland plays an important role in supporting the objectives of the Saudi National Transformation Program 2020 and the Saudi Vision 2030.
Our services support the goals of the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) to build consumer confidence in products sold on the market and promote fair trade between buyers and sellers.
Under the Saudi Product Safety Program (SALEEM), TÜV Rheinland is authorized by SASO to perform the review and audit processes of the Saudi Quality Mark (SQM) for high-risk products. The SQM is an internationally recognized quality mark based on ISO/IEC 17065, and it demonstrates to consumers and buyers that a product has been tested and meets the relevant Saudi technical regulations and standards.
By working with TÜV Rheinland, clients can receive inspection, verification, assessments and services that help to meet the growing challenges of quality and social responsibility for cargo shipments. Our services can help clients achieve the SQM, which enhances their reputation, increases customer confidence, and leads to increased sales.
Furthermore, the SQM process, which includes:
Initial and periodic visits, sample testing, assessment of the production process, and audit of the management system, is streamlined with TÜV Rheinland's support, making it easier and more efficient for clients to meet the requirements.
Why Saudi Quality Mark?
The Saudi Quality Mark (SQM) is a prestigious symbol of quality and compliance with the highest standards set by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO). Obtaining the SQM is a clear indication that a product has undergone thorough testing and has been found to meet all relevant regulations and standards in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Having the SQM on a product is a valuable asset for producers, as it enhances their reputation and instills confidence in customers and buyers. This results in greater market access and increased sales potential, as the SQM is a reliable indicator of quality and compliance.
Additionally, registering for the SQM with the Saber portal is an affordable and straightforward process, as the registration fee is waived for products bearing the SQM. This not only saves time and resources for producers, but it also eliminates the need for additional conformity assessments for these products, further streamlining the market entry process.
