A SABER certificate for Saudi Arabia is required before most regulated products can clear Saudi customs. Atoney is a Dubai-based certification and consulting firm that handles SABER registration, PCoC and SCoC certificates for exporters, importers and manufacturers, from product classification to approval.
SABER is the online platform of the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) for registering products and issuing conformity certificates for goods entering Saudi Arabia. Without the right certificate, regulated goods cannot clear customs, which means storage charges and missed deliveries.
You need a SABER certificate if you:
Not every product follows the same route. Regulated products need full certification through an accredited body, while non-regulated products follow a lighter process. The right path depends on your product’s HS code, so we check this first.
As SABER certificate consultants in Dubai, we handle the process end to end, or support only the steps you need:
| PCoC (Product Certificate of Conformity) | SCoC (Shipment Certificate of Conformity) | |
|---|---|---|
|
What it covers When you need it Validity Why it matters |
The product itself Before you ship the product Typically one year Proves the product meets Saudi standards |
A specific shipment For every consignment Linked to the shipment Lets that shipment clear customs |
In short, the PCoC shows your product is compliant, and the SCoC shows this shipment is covered.
We support SABER certification for regulated categories including electrical and electronic products, home appliances, telecommunication devices, batteries, toys, textiles and footwear, plastics and food contact materials, PPE, machinery, building materials, tyres and auto parts, detergents and lubricants.Â
Documents depend on product category and risk level. A typical file includes:

Exporters, importers and manufacturers of regulated products going into the Saudi market need it. Whether your product is regulated depends on its HS code and the technical regulation that applies.
Yes. Much of the process is handled online and through approved certification bodies, so you can work with SABER consultants in Dubai without travelling to Saudi Arabia.
The PCoC certifies the product, while the SCoC covers a specific shipment. You generally need a valid PCoC before you can obtain an SCoC for each consignment.
Typically an invoice and packing list, product specifications, HS code, test reports, manufacturer details and labelling. Requirements vary by product.
It depends on product risk, testing needs and document quality. Complete files and products that need no lab testing move faster. We give you a realistic estimate after reviewing your product.
Cost depends on product category, number of models, testing, shipment volume and certification body fees. See our SABER cost guide for the factors involved.
A PCoC is typically valid for one year and should be renewed before it expires. Start renewal at least 30 days early. See our renewal guide.
