Extension cords and socket-outlet plugs are regulated by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) under the Gulf Technical Regulation for Low Voltage Electrical Equipment and Appliances. To enter Saudi ports or be sold in local markets, these products must obtain the Saudi Quality Mark (SQM).
Join our free webinar for an in-depth exploration of the technical specifications and compliance pathways for extension cords in Saudi Arabia, including key insights into the SQM certification process. Our expert presenters will provide a comprehensive overview of the SQM scheme, highlighting its significance for extension cords destined for the Saudi market. You will gain practical insights into the benefits of obtaining the SQM license, the step-by-step certification process, the scope of the scheme, detailed technical requirements and the factory auditing process. The session will also cover our role in supporting compliance with Saudi standards, before concluding with a Q&A.
