The Saudi Accreditation Center (SAAC) was established by Council of Ministers Resolution No. (600) dated 10/22/1440 AH, which transformed the former National Accreditation Committee into a financially and administratively self-sufficient center. SAAC has legal personality, financial and administrative independence, and is organizationally related to the Minister of Commerce.
SAAC is the national unique body officially designated to provide accreditation services for conformity assessment bodies in the Kingdom. It is responsible for improving the competence of these bodies, in order to contribute to strengthening the quality infrastructure and supporting the Kingdom’s economy and prosperity.
