Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization

The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) is a Saudi government body that provides standards, metrology and quality-related services for consumers and organizations. SASO’s official website publishes Saudi standards, news and events, statistics such as approved standards, certificates issued, energy efficiency certificates and laboratory information, and presents its electronic services. SASO’s online platform offers electronic services for consumers, traders and small and medium enterprises, including electronic appointment booking, inquiries on periodic technical inspection status, requests for notices, vehicle energy efficiency inquiries, and membership services. The site also provides consumer awareness content and multimedia about non-compliant goods and quality practices. Visitors use SASO’s portal to access and interact with the authority’s digital services, follow its events and announcements (for example national quality forums), and use tools such as the “Taqad” app mentioned for validating energy efficiency labels and quality marks. The portal is registered with the Digital Government Authority and presents official guidance, service listings and statistical summaries of SASO activities.
