To ensure that electronic and electrical products circulating on the market meet electromagnetic compatibility requirements, Saudi SASO has issued new EMC regulations, which specify the requirement for suppliers to provide EMC technical documents before importing products. The latest regulations list 84 EMC standards and 46 corresponding customs codes for product categories. The products mentioned in the list must be declared in the market by suppliers in accordance with the requirements of this regulation before being exported to Saudi Arabia. Only by completing the required qualification assessment and self- declaration process can we smoothly enter the Saudi market. 

But the new regulations do not include the following products:

A) Radio and Telecommunications Equipment, commonly known by its abbreviation (R&TTE) Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment

b) Air navigation and aviation products and spare parts.

C) Communication equipment used by amateurs.

D) medical equipment.

E) Equipment with the following physical characteristics:

    1) Equipment that cannot generate or generate electromagnetic radiation exceeding the allowable level of radio equipment. Telecommunications and other equipment operate as expected.

    2) Equipment that is not affected by electromagnetic interference typically produced during normal use.

F) Electronic boards designed for expert research and R&D purposes.

The details of the 46 controlled products mentioned in the regulations are as follows:
