What the documents do not cover

An accredited certification body issues the certificate after auditing your management system. doooqs prepares the documents for that system.
The safety resources for service contractors, the construction safety manual and the safety manual, are password protected in the Aramco portal; and the local manufacturer form asks for a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for chemicals.
For a supplier inside the Kingdom: a commercial registration, an industrial licence for the plant, an investment licence and a government classification for the contractor where applicable, the zakat, tax, social insurance and chamber certificates, a civil defence licence or its equivalent, the code of conduct acknowledgement, a bank letter, the ownership and authorised signatory file, the Jadeer certificate for a small or medium enterprise where applicable, and the cybersecurity compliance certificate (CCC).
Your plant’s own production and quality plans, and the supplier plant assessment questionnaire.
Check each buyer’s requirements in its own portal, since they change and may include licences and registrations the documents do not cover.

Questions

Does Saudi Aramco require an ISO certificate, or is a documented system enough?

In the qualification of local manufacturers of engineered goods, Aramco asks for a copy of the ISO 9001 certificate among the approval application documents, together with the system documents. Supplier registration rests on the legal and financial documents in the registration list. Check the route you apply through in the Aramco portal.

Which management system documents does Saudi Aramco ask for by name?

The ERTQA handbook names the quality system manual, the quality policy and objectives, the procedures for document control, record control, correction, prevention, internal audit and nonconformity control, the index of system documents and external references, the production and quality plans, the summary of the latest internal audit, the list of nonconformities since the start of the year, the minutes of the latest management review, and the supplier plant assessment questionnaire.

Buyer names belong to their owners; this answer is guidance, does not represent any buyer and promises neither qualification nor a certificate.
