Saudi Arabia Power Quality Standards Update

CHITEK Regulatory Team

The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) has recently updated its power quality regulations, introducing stricter requirements for harmonic emissions in industrial facilities. These changes will take effect in 2025 and affect all new industrial installations.

Key Regulatory Changes

The updated standards include several significant changes that industrial operators need to address:

  • THD limit reduced from 8% to 5% for voltage distortion
  • Individual harmonic limits aligned with IEC 61000-3-6
  • Mandatory power quality monitoring for facilities above 500kVA
  • Annual compliance reporting requirements
