SASO-Approved PVC & uPVC Pipes
4B Factory manufactures PVC and uPVC pipes in Al-Kharj to the Saudi Standards (SAS/SASO) that govern pipe used in the Kingdom — including SAS 14/15 for potable water, SASO ISO 1452 for pressure pipe, SAS 1395/1396 for sewer and drain, and ASTM D 1785 for Schedule pressure pipe. This page explains what each standard covers and how compliance is documented for project approval.

What "SASO-Approved" Means for PVC Pipe
SASO — the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization — is the national body that sets and enforces product standards in Saudi Arabia. For pipe, the relevant Saudi Standards (SAS) define the material, dimensions, pressure classes and test requirements a product must meet to be used in Kingdom water, drainage and electrical networks.
In practice, "SASO-approved" means a pipe is manufactured and tested to the applicable SAS or SASO-adopted standard, and that conformity can be evidenced through the SABER platform and a certificate of conformity. 4B Factory manufactures to these standards and supplies the supporting documentation buyers need for contractor and project approval.
Which Standard Applies to Which Pipe
The Saudi and international standards 4B Factory manufactures to, mapped to each product line. Standards are stated as those the products are manufactured and tested to; project-specific approvals are confirmed per order.
| Product | Applicable Standards |
|---|---|
| uPVC Pressure / Watermain Pipe | SASO ISO 1452 (by SDR / PN class) · SAS 14/15 (potable water) · DIN 8061/8062 |
| uPVC Sewer & Drain Pipe | SAS 1395/1396 · SASO ISO 4435 · Class 2–4 |
| PVC ASTM Standard Pipe | ASTM D 1785 (Sch 40/80/120) · ASTM D 2241 (SDR) · ASTM D 1784 (material) |
| uPVC Duct & Conduit | SAS 254/255 · NEMA TC 2 · SAS 14/15 (Class 2–3) |
| Customised & Fabricated Fittings | Fabricated to the parent pipe standard · 6–16 Bar ratings |
The Key Pipe Standards in Saudi Arabia
SAS 14/15 — Potable Water
The Saudi Standard for uPVC pipe used in drinking-water supply, defining dimensions, classes and test requirements for potable lines.
SASO ISO 1452 — Pressure Pipe
The Saudi-adopted ISO standard for uPVC pressure pipe, specified by SDR and PN (pressure) class for water distribution and pressure mains.
SAS 1395/1396 — Sewer & Drain
The Saudi Standards for uPVC sewer and drain pipe, covering gravity drainage in Classes 2–4, alongside SASO ISO 4435 for SDR sewer pipe.
ASTM D 1785 — Schedule Pipe
The American standard for Schedule 40, 80 and 120 PVC pressure pipe, widely specified on industrial and higher-pressure duty in the Kingdom.
NEMA TC 2 — Conduit & Duct
The standard for PVC electrical conduit and duct, covering power and telecom cable protection including direct-burial duct.
DIN 8061/8062
The German dimensional standards for uPVC pipe, often cross-referenced alongside SASO ISO classes on Saudi pressure-pipe projects.
How Pipe Compliance Is Documented
Conformity in Saudi Arabia is evidenced through SASO's electronic platforms. Products are registered on SABER, and a Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) confirms the product meets the applicable technical regulation, with a Shipment Certificate of Conformity (SCoC) covering individual consignments.
For a contractor or project engineer, the practical checklist is: confirm the standard the pipe is made to, request the certificate of conformity and test references, and check that the markings on the pipe match the documentation. 4B Factory supplies these standards documents with project orders so submissions for approval are straightforward.
Why Standards Compliance Matters on Saudi Projects
Project Approval
Government and municipal projects require pipe made to the applicable SAS/SASO standard with documentation to match.
Performance Assurance
Standards define pressure class, wall thickness and test pass criteria — the difference between a pipe that lasts and one that fails.
Tender Eligibility
Compliance documentation is routinely required to qualify for infrastructure and contractor tenders across the Kingdom.
Right Standard, Right Duty
Matching the standard to the application — pressure vs gravity, water vs conduit — avoids specifying the wrong pipe.
Traceability
Certificates of conformity and test references give a clear paper trail from manufacturer to installed line.
Saudi-Made Accountability
A local Al-Kharj manufacturer can supply documentation and technical support directly, without an import chain.

Frequently Asked Questions
4B Factory manufactures its PVC and uPVC pipes to the applicable Saudi Standards (SAS/SASO) and ASTM standards, and supplies standards documentation for project approval. Conformity is evidenced through certificates of conformity and the SABER platform.
uPVC sewer and drain pipe in Saudi Arabia is manufactured to Saudi Standards SAS 1395 and SAS 1396, in Classes 2–4, alongside SASO ISO 4435 for SDR sewer pipe.
uPVC pressure and watermain pipe is manufactured to SASO ISO 1452, specified by SDR and PN (pressure) class, and to SAS 14/15 for potable-water lines. ASTM D 1785 covers Schedule 40/80 pressure pipe.
Confirm the standard the pipe is manufactured to, request the certificate of conformity and test references, and check that the pipe markings match the documentation. Products are registered on SASO's SABER platform.
SAS are the Saudi Standards set by SASO for use in the Kingdom; ASTM are American standards (such as D 1785 for Schedule pipe) widely specified for industrial pressure duty. 4B Factory manufactures to both, depending on the application.
