Packaging Product

The Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization (SASO) requires that certain non-food products, including packaging materials, be classified under Type 1a for conformity purposes. These products must obtain a Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) to demonstrate compliance with Saudi regulatory requirements. Given the rapid developments in design, innovation, sustainability, and regulatory expectations within the packaging industry, companies must stay current and certified to access the Saudi market. Through the SABER platform, a Certified Conformity Body (CCC) can support manufacturers and exporters in obtaining Saber Packaging Certification for entry into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This regulation applies to a wide range of non-food packaging products, particularly those designed for consumer use. Covered items include plastic packaging, bags made from materials such as plastic, paper, or textiles, as well as paper and fiberboard packaging commonly used for wrapping or storing goods. It also includes wooden packaging materials, textile-based packaging, and glass containers or wraps. Additionally, composite materials—which combine elements like paper or fiberboard with plastic or glass—are also subject to the requirements of this regulation. These materials must meet Saudi standards to ensure they are safe, compliant, and suitable for the market.

Taking the necessary steps to secure a PCoC not only ensures legal compliance but also opens doors to the growing and highly regulated Saudi Arabian packaging market.
