Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, is pleased to announce that it has been accredited by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) to support its Used Vehicle Conformity Programme for exports to the Kingdom.
The programme verifies the compliance of used vehicles in the respective exporting countries through a quality inspection prior to shipment. This ensures the vehicles comply with the Technical Regulations applicable assuring Saudi citizens of the quality and reliability of the used vehicles they are purchasing.
Thomas Kordick, Global Business Line Leader, Government and Trade Services, Intertek said: “We have been supporting SASO with the Saudi Product Safety Programme for several years now and are delighted to have been accredited for their Used Vehicle Conformity Programme. Having introduced the very first Conformity Assessment Programme in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia more than 25 years ago, Intertek has the experience, expertise and global reach to provide SASO, and exporters of used vehicles to Saudi Arabia, with a fast and total quality excellence service.”
Exporters of used vehicles to Saudi Arabia are required to provide a Certificate of Inspection for Customs clearance in accordance with Government regulation. This certificate can only be obtained from an Approved Inspection Body such as Intertek. Intertek is also approved by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) for the Food Consignment Certification Programme, Cosmetics and Perfumery Product Certification Programmes.
