​Eng. Saud Shabanat, manager of the Quality Management Systems Certification department at the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO), emphasized that the forthcoming stage will witness the release of a number of rules and regulations for awarding Quality Management Systems Certificates in collaboration with the related authorities. In this regard, Mr. Shabanat revealed that there are a number of unaccredited offices that award such certificates without adhering to the standards and systems that are normally observed to award such certificates. The said approach aims to enhance the quality of the Saudi product and ensure its international competitiveness in support of the national economy, Mr. Shabanat added.
