SASO Continue its Ambitious Plan for Technical Services to Obtain int’l Recognition

The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) continued its ambitious plan for the technical services provided by the National Center for Measurement and Calibration to obtain international recognition for time, frequency and field length measurements.

With this international recognition, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has guaranteed the sequence and compatibility of its international units of measurement “SI”. And this international recognition also means that the calibration certificates issued by the National Center for Measurement and Calibration are internationally recognized, in all advanced industrial countries, with a significant impact on the economic clout, by raising the level of trade exchange, and the flow of goods and products to and from global markets.

The “Saudi Standards” explained that this recognition contributes to supporting the quality of the infrastructure and enhances the Kingdom’s regional and international leadership, in the field of measurement and calibration, which enhances support for the national economy system, by achieving metrological reference to the measurement tools used, in the Kingdom.

It is noteworthy that the National Center for Measurement and Calibration is one of the most developed regional and international centers, in this field, as it provides a range of metrological services to its partners from the governmental and private sectors in the Kingdom and the countries of the world.

It conducts about 2,400 calibrations annually for measuring devices in various fields, and includes 30 specific laboratories specialized, and employs more than 80 Saudi national specialists.
