A SASO certification is a conformity certificate required for many products imported into Saudi Arabia to prove they meet Saudi standards for safety, quality, and environmental protection. It is issued under the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (often still called “SASO”) and is necessary for customs clearance of regulated goods.
What does it require in regard of Heavy Machinery Import?
For heavy machinery imports, SASO requires that the machine falls under the Saudi “Machinery Safety – Part 2: Mobile Machinery and Heavy‑Duty Equipment” technical regulation and must obtain product and shipment Certificates of Conformity via the SABER system before customs clearance. The process focuses on safety, labeling, inspection (especially for used/mobile machinery), and documentation proving compliance with Saudi standards.
Who can provide a SASO certificate?
A SASO Certificate of Conformity is issued by Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) that are formally approved/accepted by SASO and listed in the SABER system, not by just any testing agency. Large international CABs (e.g. SGS, QIMA, Tabseer, Testcosa, TÜV, Intertek, SIRIM, etc.) act as SASO‑approved Certification Bodies and can issue Product and Shipment Certificates of Conformity once the product passes the required assessment.

Get in touch for more info about the certification under the SABER online system and under the SALEEM product safety program.
Debido a los gastos de desplazamiento y comunicación, se aplican los siguientes costes por los servicios de inspección en China. Tenga en cuenta que viajar a Hefei y Anhui es muy largo. Por este motivo, la tarifa es relativamente alta.
Una máquina en la zona de Shanghái 880 euros (1000 US$) (posible con tarjeta de crédito)
Máquinas adicionales en el mismo lugar 350 euros (400 US$)
Inspección de una máquina en la zona de Hefei o Anhui 1500 euros (posible con tarjeta de crédito)
Máquinas adicionales en el mismo lugar, Hefei o Anhui: 350 euros (420 US$).
Ámbito de nuestras inspecciones de maquinaria en China
Nuestro servicio en China incluye una inspección visual de la máquina, con una prueba de funcionamiento realizada por el conductor del vendedor. Nuestro inspector toma varias fotografías y vídeos, y comprueba visualmente el estado y el desgaste de la máquina, incluidos los números de serie y los motores. También busca fugas y grietas en el chasis, evalúa los accesorios y los neumáticos, y realiza una valoración de la fiabilidad del vendedor. Aunque no se trata de una inspección técnica perfecta, puede ayudarle a evitar los errores más importantes a la hora de comprar una máquina en China. Hemos tenido algunas sorpresas desagradables en Shanghái y sus alrededores, y algunos de nuestros clientes han perdido mucho dinero. Algunos incluso acabaron con una máquina diferente a la que habían inspeccionado. Por tanto, recomendamos encarecidamente realizar una segunda inspección en el puerto antes del envío para asegurarse de lo que está comprando. Inspeccionamos todas las marcas, como Caterpillar, Tadano, Komatsu o Doosan.
Bulldozer recién pintado
Equipos usados de Shanghái
Shanghái es conocida por tener una gran cantidad de máquinas de construcción interesantes, como excavadoras, palas cargadoras, rodillos, motoniveladoras y otras máquinas para la construcción de carreteras. Sin embargo, en China no se puede confiar ciegamente en los vendedores, ya que es habitual que las máquinas chinas se repinten y se vuelvan a etiquetar, lo que dificulta identificar el país de origen real. Esto puede suponer una desagradable sorpresa para los compradores cuando la máquina llega a otro país y no se dispone de piezas de repuesto. Para evitarlo, es muy recomendable que haga inspeccionar la maquinaria de construcción usada en China antes de su envío. Es especialmente importante no realizar ningún pago por adelantado hasta que esté seguro del estado y el país de origen de la máquina.
Inspección de carga en el puerto de Shanghái
Si desea un servicio adicional de inspección de carga en el puerto de Shanghái, también se lo podemos ofrecer. Debe comunicarse con el vendedor y las autoridades para que nuestro inspector pueda acceder al puerto. Por la inspección de carga se aplica una tarifa de 800 euros (900 dólares) por un servicio de un día.
Control de calidad de la maquinaria en Hefei o Anhui
Si ha encontrado una máquina en condiciones razonables y a buen precio en Anhui o Hefei, podemos enviar a un inspector. Debido al coste del desplazamiento en un país tan grande como China, no será un servicio barato. El inspector tendrá que viajar en avión o en tren de alta velocidad y pasar la noche allí.
Documentos, carga de contenedores y logística
No aprobamos documentos, no emitimos documentos de exportación y no nos encargamos de la logística dentro de China ni del envío desde este país. Tampoco podemos ayudar con la carga de máquinas en contenedores. Para obtener estos servicios, póngase en contacto con un agente de transporte o un taller local.
Verificación del número de serie
Para que se apruebe un número de serie, es muy recomendable ponerse en contacto con su distribuidor local de la marca correspondiente, como CAT o Komatsu. ¡No se fíe de las fotos o confirmaciones enviadas desde China!
Pre-start daily inspection checklist for heavy machinery
Why should operators of heavy machinery use a daily inspection checklist? Operators of heavy machinery should use a daily inspection checklist because it helps ensure safety, reliability, regulatory compliance, and cost-effectiveness. Key reasons include:
1. Prevents accidents and injuries
Identifies hazards like leaks, worn parts, or malfunctioning safety systems before they cause an incident.
Ensures critical components (brakes, hydraulics, alarms, restraints) are functioning properly.
2. Reduces equipment downtime
Catching small issues early prevents bigger mechanical failures.
Well-maintained equipment is less likely to break down during operation, keeping projects on schedule.
3. Lowers repair and operating costs
Early detection of problems reduces expensive emergency repairs.
Helps extend the lifespan of machinery through consistent care.
4. Ensures regulatory and legal compliance
OSHA and similar regulatory bodies require regular inspections for heavy machinery.
Checklists provide documentation that inspections were completed correctly and consistently.
5. Protects employers from liability
In case of an incident, having a documented inspection trail shows due diligence.
Helps establish that safety protocols were followed.
6. Improves operator accountability and awareness
Operators become more familiar with how their equipment should look and perform.
Encourages responsibility for the safe and proper use of machinery.
7. Creates consistent communication across shifts
Notes from inspections help alert incoming operators or maintenance staff to issues that need attention.
Download free checklist here
Feel free to download the current PDF-versions of our checklist for daily heavy equipment check-up. Those versions are printable and can be handed over to operators to check machine integrity and safety before the shift starts. On request we can send an editable Word-Document for free editing.
If you need a different inspection checklist get in touch please. We can create easily other versions. And yes, these documents are freely available and can be shared or copied.
There are various reasons why an evaluation of used harbor cranes may be required. In many cases, buyers or operators seek an independent assessment to determine whether a crane meets their operational needs and to verify that its technical specifications align with current industry standards. Financial institutions or insurance providers may also request an evaluation to determine the asset’s market value, assess risk, or support financing, leasing, or coverage decisions. Additionally, port authorities and crane owners often require a valuation when planning upgrades, scheduling replacements, or documenting assets for accounting and compliance purposes.
Who can inspect and evaluate harbor cranes?
To evaluate the residual value of harbor cranes, the valuator must first understand the purpose of the valuation. The calculation method depends on whether a replacement value, a potential sales price, or a fair transaction price between contractors is required. Transport costs also play a significant role. At Mevas, our experience and technical background enable us to perform this work accurately and reliably.
A proper valuation considers the crane’s current condition, the age of its components, and its configuration. During an on-site inspection, we assess the crane’s condition, verify its compliance with safety standards, and review its maintenance status.
Inspection for the valuation process
Including a thorough inspection of the crane’s condition is essential to ensure the accuracy of any evaluation. A crane’s performance, safety, and remaining service life depend heavily on its structural integrity, mechanical systems, and maintenance history. Visual checks alone are not sufficient; detailed condition assessments help identify wear, corrosion, fatigue, or outdated components that could impact operational reliability. By incorporating a condition inspection, the valuation becomes more precise, supports informed decision-making, and reduces the risk of unexpected repair costs or operational failures.
Inspectors check the electrical system, operational modes, and the condition of the structure, boom, and jib. They measure swing bearing play and test the winches. A load test is also performed. Safety features, access ladders, emergency switches, and load-limiting systems undergo a thorough inspection.
Where can Mevas inspect and valuate harbor cranes?
Our team operates internationally. Inspectors can travel to most countries in the world. European passports enable us to travel to most countries globally.

Who can provide a professional service for inventory of mining assets?
On various occasions, mining companies need professionally qualified personnel to create an asset register. In countries with less stringent regulations, it is often the case that the asset register in companies is not kept correctly. This results in capital goods being depreciated that are no longer available or are in an unusable condition. On the other hand, capital goods are used without being recorded in the depreciation. This results in too much tax being paid. In such cases, it sometimes makes sense to commission an independent third party to record the capital goods.
Asset List with Mining Equipment
Technicians who are able to identify and document the correct description of the assets should be used for this purpose. It is of no use if the operator installs a water pump and claims that it is the power generator from the capital goods inventory. Contact MEVAS if you would like to create a list of fixed assets in a mining operation or open-cast mine. Whether you want to inventory 100 items, vehicles, and machines or your goal is a complete valuation project with more that 1000 items, MEVAS is your partner for the job.
We can offer used machine inspections in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC): Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates and more or less in all Middle-East countries.
Excavators from Saudi Arabia
If you are looking for used excavators with low hours from Saudi-Arabia we recommend to have a look at Plant & Equipment. There are many machines listed. If you need a 3rd-party independent inspection get im touch with us. In some areas of Saudi-Arabia we can maybe help.
Used Wheel Loaders from UAE
There are plenty of good used wheel loaders available in the UAE. Especially in Dubai and Abu Dhabi is a lot of equipment for sale. But be carefully. There are also many old machines in bad condition. Call for an independent inspection before you send any money to an unknown supplier.
Inspection Services for Cranes
If you intend to purchase a used crawler crane, a tower crane or a used mobile crane it is recommended to send an inspector. Cranes are a big investment and repairs can be costly. Have a look at www.crane-inspectors.com where we can help with our inspection services.
Used Dump Trucks for Mining and Construction
It is not a rocket-sience to inspect a used dump truck in Saudi-Arabia or another GCC country. However, it is recommended to send an engineer who knows about it. He should know about engine performance, torque converter stall test and how to test the brakes. Call Mevas if you need inspection for used articulated or rigid dump trucks.
Pre-Shipment-Inspections
In some areas we can support your business with PSI inspections in the port or in the factory. Just send an inquiry what you need to have inspected. We will relpy within hours.
Проверка на употребявани тежки машини, немски сервиз
Представете си, че имате нужда от използвана строителна машина. Започвате да търсите и намирате добра сделка. За съжаление машината е на 1500 км от вас. Сега можете да се качите на самолет или да карате кола и да предприемете тридневно пътуване, за да разгледате машината. Но ти всъщност си строителен предприемач, а не механик. Така че ще стоите пред машината и ще се дразните, че може да не разберете всичко, което виждате. Възможно е да не сте в състояние да оцените правилно работата на двигателя и хидравличната система. Няма ли да е добре да имате експерт на място, който да ви прегледа машината? Има подходящо решение. Международно действаща служба за инспекция на строителни машини може да разгледа машината вместо вас. Оставате вкъщи и два дни след поръчката си четете доклада от проверката в свободното си време и разглеждате снимките. Специалистите от MEVAS дават мнение дали машината е добра или лоша.
Инспекция и оценка на състоянието
MEVAS е германска компания и международно действаща услуга за инспекция на тежка техника. Компанията предлага услуги за инспекция на употребявана тежка техника в повече от 22 страни.

Рециклираща и минна техника
Закупуването на рециклираща машина, като например трошачка или пресяваща машина, е много рисково, дори ако някой изпрати свой техник. Сондажните машини също са скъпи съоръжения. Тези машини могат да имат много скрити проблеми. MEVAS може да се похвали с най-малко 170 инспектирани трошачки от марки като Pegson, Terex, Gipo, Finlay, Fintec и Sandvik. През последните години MEVAS инспектира минни камиони до CAT 777, Komatsu HD785, багери до CAT 5110 или Komatsu PC 3000.
Техническо оборудване
Най-трудната част от инспекцията на машини вероятно е техническото оборудване. Сондажните и пилотни машини са много сложни. Изпращането на инженер без познания за различните спецификации няма смисъл. Ако нямате квалифициран инженер на разположение, моля, свържете се с MEVAS.
