Saudi Arabia RoHS – (also known as Technical Regulation for Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment) was implemented on September 7, 2021 and restricts the use of the original 6 EU RoHS substances, lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (CrVI), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in electrical and electronic equipment. Each product category has it’s own in effect date, ranging from July 4, 2022 to December 26, 2023. While similiar to EU RoHS, the legislation does have some key differences. Medical devices are out of scope of Saudi Arabia RoHS, and exemptions differ slightly as well. Prior to placing on the market, a technical file must be submitted through a Notified Body to SASO (Saudi Arabian Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization). The technical file is comprised of a DoC, Risk Assessment (Test Report), and any other applicable documents associated with product use and safety, (warnings, cautions, manuals etc).
