Their main goal is to ensure safety, efficiency and product quality to all Saudi consumers, besides promoting public health care and preventing associated risks to the consumption of these products.
SFDA plays a crucial role in the quality control and in the assurance that all imported products and commercialized products in Saudi Arabia meet the rigorous norms. This includes the scientific evaluation of medical remedies and devices, the inspection of the product installation and market monitoring to ensure conformity with the local and international regulations.
To companies that aim to enter the Saudi market, obtaining certification from the SFDA is a fundamental step. This involves a detailed process of documentation submission, conformity evaluation and, in some cases, on-site inspections. SFDA’s approval not only allows the entrance to the market, but also works as a seal of quality and trustability, essential to build the consumers and commercial partners’ trust in Saudi Arabia.
