Hello Mishal

With regards to the Product Quality Certificate, if the products have been manufactured to EU Standards then you can produce a Certificate on your own paperwork stating which standards they conform to. If you are selling goods to Saudi Arabia they do have their own standards and some products are required to be tested before they are exported. Talk to Intertek with regard to this and they will advise you whether these come under the Saudi testing requirements

With regard to the Free Sales Certificate you may find this website useful.

Certificate of Free sale for pharmaceutical products are issued by BIS. Basically it is a certificate to say that the products are sold freely in either the UK or EU.
Some Gulf states will require these Certificates to be Certified and possibly Legalised. Your Chamber of Commerce can arrange this for you.
