Saudi product conformity

SABER product and shipment certification.

Product CoC, Shipment CoC and Saudi customs-clearance support linked to the correct technical regulation.

Two certificates, one shipment path

Product approval comes first. Shipment approval follows every dispatch.

The product, importer, HS code and technical regulation must stay aligned from PC application through the final shipment record.

Certification Overview

SABER is Saudi Arabia's electronic product-safety platform for registering products and issuing conformity certificates under applicable Saudi technical regulations. The route depends on the product classification, HS code, risk level and current regulatory scope; not every product follows the same conformity-assessment path.

Key Features

  • Mandatory Certification: All regulated products must obtain certification through the SABER system
  • Dual Certificates: PC (Product Certificate of Conformity) + SC (Shipment Certificate of Conformity)
  • Risk Classification: Implements differentiated controls based on product risk levels
  • Digital Process: Entire process completed through the SABER online platform

Certification Objectives

The platform connects product registration, conformity evidence and shipment certification. The applicable technical regulation and conformity-assessment procedure should be confirmed against the current SABER and SASO sources before an application is prepared.

Regulatory Scope

The official SABER library currently groups its technical regulations into five product sectors. Use the categories below to understand the available documents, then confirm the exact product classification in SABER before relying on a regulation for a shipment.

5 Textiles Textiles, toys, footwear, leather and protective clothing. 7 Construction and Building Building materials, openings, pipes and water-use products. 26 Mechanical Machinery, vehicles, pressure equipment and transport systems. 13 Electrical Electrical safety, EMC, energy, batteries and connected equipment. 10 Chemical Chemical products, packaging, paper and consumer-contact materials.

Classification comes before certification

Applicable documents depend on the product, HS code and risk level. This library is a reference index, not an automatic determination that every listed regulation applies to a product.

Confirm the Product Classification

An HS chapter alone does not determine the complete conformity route. A reliable assessment connects four inputs before testing or certification work begins.

Product identityIntended use, construction, ratings, model range and user group.
Saudi HS codeThe importer-confirmed tariff code and detailed product description.
Technical regulationThe current regulation, applicable standards and conformity model.
Risk and evidenceRequired reports, declarations, labels, licences or notified-body review.

Check the current official mapping

Share the HS code supplied by the Saudi importer together with the product specification. The final route should be checked against the live SABER platform.
