TÜV SÜD Middle East LLC was designated in July 2025 by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) as a Notified Body for the Technical Regulation for Communications and Information Technology Devices. The recognition expands TÜV SÜD's existing service portfolio under the Saudi conformity assessment programme SALEEM and now enables the company to issue product and shipment certificates for Wireless/Radio and Telecommunication equipment intended for the Saudi Market.
The new notification underscores TÜV SÜD's technical competence and regulatory expertise in the field of conformity assessment and supports manufacturers, exporters and importers in meeting the complex legal requirements in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
TÜV SÜD is already designated under SALEEM for a wide range of regulated product categories, including low-voltage equipment, textiles, leather goods, construction materials and automotive spare parts, and offers comprehensive testing and certification services from a single source. With the addition of communication and IT equipment, TÜV SÜD is strengthening its position as a reliable partner for safe and compliant market access in the Middle East.
„Being recognized by SASO in the field of Communication Technology is a significant milestone in reinforcing our commitment to the Gulf region,” says Yasir Ali, Deputy Manager at TÜV SÜD Middle East. “This recognition empowers us to deliver even more comprehensive services to our customers across diverse industries, helping them bring their Communication and Information Technology Devices (Wireless and Non-Wireless) to the KSA marketplace efficiently and with the highest standards of safety and compliance.
With a global network and in-depth technical expertise, TÜV SÜD supports its customers in meeting international market requirements, thereby helping to strengthen product quality, consumer protection and regulatory compliance worldwide.
