In Saudi Arabia, some categories of products require SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate (SIRC) to obtain the Product CoC and Shipment CoC for clearance of the shipment at the KSA Customs. The SIRC can be received only if the product is tested by Certified Body Testing Laboratory (CBTL) which is IECEE approved and has a valid CB test report and certificate. 

The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) has recently expanded the scope of its SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate (SIRC) program by 2021. Thus, the following types of product require SIRC from September 1, 2021:
