SFDA Food Certification Process
Exporting to Saudi Arabia? Let us guide you through the SFDA Food conformity assessment process, and the steps you need to take to get your food & beverage products certified for import into the country.
SFDA Food Certification Process
- Importers raise a request through their FASEH account and nominate Cotecna as a preferred conformity body.
- Cotecna receives the request on the FASEH portal.
- Once your request is received, a dedicated local coordinator will immediately review your submission, and the information provided.
- A coordinator will check all the necessary documentation and, from this, define the scope of the service. This can also be done ahead of the FASEH request, directly with your dedicated coordinator.
- To comply with SFDA’s importing regulations, your dedicated coordinator will guide you through the necessary verifications and schedule them, including testing samples and inspections.
- After satisfactory results, a Certificate of Conformity (COC) will be issued for the shipment related to the request received.
