Saudi Arabia requires the Saudi supplier’s name and commercial registration number on products under 10 SASO technical regulations from Oct. 1, 2026.<\/p>\n
The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) now requires the Saudi supplier’s name and commercial registration number to appear on the product itself for goods under 10 technical regulations, from Oct. 1, 20261<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n The goods range from child car seats and strollers to hoverboards, boats, trailers, solar power kits and building lifts1<\/a><\/sup>. SASO says it will check the products through the data sent on SABER, its online product registration system, and will punish suppliers who break the rule1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n In short, a product in one of these 10 groups must now show who is selling it in Saudi Arabia and that company’s registration number. A factory abroad must put its Saudi buyer’s details on the goods, and SASO will check them through SABER.<\/p>\n SASO sent a circular, a formal notice, "to all beneficiaries of SABER", meaning every company that uses the system1<\/a><\/sup>. It tells them that products under the listed regulations must show the supplier’s name and commercial registration number<\/strong> on the product1<\/a><\/sup>. A commercial registration (CR) number is the number a company receives when it registers as a business in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n The circular defines the supplier as the importer or local manufacturer<\/strong>1<\/a><\/sup>. For imported goods, this means the Saudi company that brings the goods in, not the factory that made them. The requirement is in force from Oct. 1, 2026<\/strong>1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n SASO’s notice on the SABER home page states the same rule in one line. It speaks of "mandating inclusion of supplier’s name (importer or local manufacturer) and commercial registration number on the product", starting Oct. 1, 2026 for 10 technical regulations2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n The duty itself is not new. The circular says the technical regulations already require the supplier’s name and registration number on the product1<\/a><\/sup>. A technical regulation is a SASO rulebook that sets the safety rules a type of product must meet before it is sold in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n What the circular adds is a firm date and a warning. SASO "would like to emphasize" the rule to all SABER users and sets Oct. 1, 2026 as the date it takes effect1<\/a><\/sup>. It then says it will check covered products and apply penalties to those who do not comply1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n The trailer regulation shows how the older rule reads. Its labelling article says "the labeling shall include the name of the supplier and the commercial registration"<\/strong>3<\/a><\/sup>. The circular now ties that line, and similar lines in the nine other regulations, to a date and to checks on SABER.<\/p>\n The circular lists 10 technical regulations by name1<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n Products outside these 10 regulations are not named in the circular. Each regulation also sets its own limits. The trailer regulation covers all trailers and semi-trailers made in or imported into Saudi Arabia, but not those designed for specific military uses3<\/a><\/sup>. The lift regulation does not cover cable cars, military lifts, mine lifts, lifts on building sites, very slow lifts, or escalators and moving walkways4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n The circular uses one short definition: the importer or the local manufacturer1<\/a><\/sup>. The technical regulations give a longer one. Under the trailer regulation, the supplier can be a manufacturer based in Saudi Arabia, an agent when the maker is abroad, the importer, or anyone in the supply chain whose work can change the product3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n The lift regulation adds people who assemble and install lifts. It names the importer of a lift or its parts, or the person who puts them together and installs them4<\/a><\/sup>. For lifts, the supplier can therefore be a local installer as well as an importer.<\/p>\n For a maker abroad, the result is plain. The name on the product must be the Saudi company’s name<\/strong>, with its CR number, not only the factory’s own name1<\/a><\/sup>. A factory selling to several Saudi importers may need a different marking for each buyer.<\/p>\n The trailer regulation gives the most detail on how the marking must look. The supplier’s name and CR must be part of the chassis number marking, the unique number of the trailer’s frame3<\/a><\/sup>. That marking must be stamped on the front of the trailer<\/strong>, on both the right and left sides3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\nWhat does the SASO circular require?<\/h2>\n
