Understanding SASO IECEE

What is the SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate?

The SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate is a mandatory conformity certificate issued under Saudi Arabia's implementation of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) IECEE CB Scheme.

It demonstrates that a product has been tested and certified according to IEC standards and meets any Saudi national variations. The certificate is required before applying for the Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) on SABER, which is used for customs clearance and market entry.

Why IECEE Recognition Matters

  • Mandatory for designated electrical/electronic products
  • Required before SABER PCoC application
  • Ensures compliance with IEC safety standards
  • Prevents shipment delays and customs issues

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about SASO IECEE Recognition Certificate

Do all electrical products need IECEE recognition?

No, only products specifically designated by SASO require the IECEE Recognition Certificate. Check the official SASO list or contact us to verify if your product is covered.

How long does the process take?

With complete documentation, SASO typically reviews and issues certificates within 5-15 working days. Complex products or incomplete applications may take longer.

Can I use existing CB certificates?

Yes, if you have valid IECEE CB Test Reports and Certificates from accredited laboratories, these can be used for the SASO IECEE Recognition application.

How is this different from SABER PCoC?

The IECEE Recognition Certificate is a prerequisite for the SABER Product Certificate (PCoC). You need the IECEE certificate first, then use it to apply for PCoC on SABER.

Can multiple models be on one certificate?

Yes, multiple models can be covered under one IECEE Recognition Certificate if they are all included in the same IECEE CB test report.

Is renewal required?

Yes, certificates must be renewed before expiry. You can choose 1-year or 3-year validity periods when applying or renewing.
