The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) and the GCC Standardization Organization (GSO) have established strict guidelines for Oud incense in the GCC region. HAGA Oud incense products are meticulously crafted to strictly adhere to these regulations. That ensures that our customers receive only the finest and most authentic Oud experiences.

 

 

Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) and the GCC Standardization Organization (GSO)

Saudi Arabia adheres to standards developed both domestically by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) and by the GCC Standardization Organization (GSO), the standards organization for the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

These regulations aim to ensure the quality, safety, and authenticity of Oud incense products, protecting both consumers and the environment. Adherence to these standards is crucial for businesses operating in the GCC market, as non-compliance can result in significant penalties and market withdrawal.

 

 

The nature of incense and incense burning

Incense, a fragrant material typically made from resins, woods, herbs, or spices, has been used for centuries in various cultures for religious, spiritual, and ceremonial purposes. The act of burning incense releases aromatic smoke, creating an atmosphere of tranquility, meditation, and purification.

Oud incense, derived from the resin of the Oud tree, is highly prized for its deep, earthy, and complex aroma. Its unique fragrance has made it a sought-after ingredient in perfumes, aromatherapy, and traditional medicine, while its burning is often associated with luxury, spirituality, and cultural heritage.

 

 

Major types of air pollutants in incense smoke

While appreciated for its fragrance, burning incense, including fake or low-quality Oud incense, releases various air pollutants. These can include particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and potentially hazardous substances like benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

The specific composition and concentration of these pollutants can vary significantly depending on the type of incense, the burning method, and the ventilation conditions. Studies have shown that burning Oud incense, despite its cultural significance, can contribute to indoor air pollution and may pose health risks to individuals with respiratory sensitivities.

 

 

Health and Environmental Risks of Incense Smoke

Burning incense, including fake or low-quality Oud incense, releases various air pollutants that can pose significant health and environmental risks.

Exposure to these pollutants can lead to respiratory problems, irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, and in some cases, more serious health issues. Additionally, the release of these pollutants into the atmosphere contributes to air pollution, which has detrimental effects on both human health and the environment.

 

 

Safety Warnings for Oud incense

• Allergies: Some people may be allergic to certain incense ingredients. Discontinue use if you experience symptoms like sneezing, coughing, or skin irritation.
