Understanding SABER

What is SABER?

SABER (Saudi Product Safety Program) is Saudi Arabia's mandatory online conformity assessment platform operated by SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization).

Launched in 2019, SABER digitalized the entire product certification process, replacing the previous paper-based system. Most consumer and regulated products entering Saudi Arabia must obtain certificates through SABER before import.

FAQ

Common SABER questions

Answers to frequently asked questions about SABER certification

Who needs SABER certification?

Importers bringing regulated products into Saudi Arabia need SABER Product Certificates (PCoC) and Shipment Certificates (SCoC) for customs clearance. Most consumer goods and products covered by SASO technical regulations require SABER.

How long does SABER certification take?

With complete documentation, Product Certificates can be issued within days. Testing timelines vary by product and complexity. Shipment Certificates can usually be processed same-day once the PCoC is valid. You must have the SCoC issued before the shipment arrives in country.

Do I need a Saudi company?

Yes. Shipment Certificates can only be issued to Saudi-registered entities (CR holders). Foreign manufacturers typically partner with a local importer or establish a Saudi branch/subsidiary.

Can I use existing test reports?

Yes, if they're from accredited labs (ILAC MRA), cover the correct standards, and are recent enough (typically ≤3 years). CB test reports are widely accepted for SIRC-designated electrical products.

What is the cost of SABER certification?

Costs vary by product type, complexity, and whether testing is needed. Contact us for a detailed quote based on your specific products and requirements.

Is SABER certification renewable?

Yes. Product Certificates are typically valid for 1 year and can be renewed before expiry. Renewal may require updated test reports depending on the technical regulation and surveillance requirements.
