Article 16 of the Saudi Security Surveillance Cameras Law

The conditions document is the most important technical reference in the Law, and this article regulates how it is prepared and issued:

Who prepares it: the Ministry of Interior, together with:

• The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.
• The Presidency of State Security.
• The National Cybersecurity Authority.
• The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority.
• The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization.
• Other relevant bodies.

These bodies also propose any amendments the document may require as needed, so the document can be updated.

Issue and effect: the document is issued by decision of the Minister within 180 days of the date the Law is published in the Official Gazette, and applies from the date the Law takes effect.

Article 1 defines the conditions document as the document of security conditions and requirements for installing the surveillance system and the general technical specifications of the security surveillance camera system devices. Article 17 indicates that the Minister also issues the regulations within 180 days of the date of the Law's publication, to apply from the date the Law takes effect.

The article does not state the date the Law was published, so the date the document was issued cannot be determined from the text alone.
