Saudi Arabia: SASO seeks comments on updated RoHS regulations


On July 23, 2025, the Saudi Arabian Organization for Standards, Metrology and Quality (SASO) published a circular on the WTO TBT platform numbered G/TBT/N/SAU/1166/Corr.1/Add.1 on the revision of the RoHS regulation. The revised regulations now require compliance with limits for 10 hazardous substances. Additionally, regulations set out procedural obligations for manufacturers, importers, and distributors, including providing safety instructions in Arabic, well-established product labeling, and comprehensive technical documentation. In addition to aligning with EU RoHS in terms of substance restrictions and conformity assessments, Saudi regulations also impose stricter administrative requirements, including technical documentation and declarations of conformity that are kept for at least ten years. The regulations will be enforced one year after the date of publication in the Official Gazette.
