What is a PCoC?
A PCoC is a Product Certificate of Conformity issued through SABER. It confirms that a product model meets the Saudi technical regulation for it. You get it once for the product, and then use it for each shipment certificate.
What it covers
A PCoC covers the product models listed on it, made by the factory named on it. It is usually valid for one year. New models, a new factory or a changed product need checking before they ship under the same certificate.
Documents usually needed
- Test reports
- Declaration of conformity
- Product details
- Photos of the product and labels
- Commercial invoice and packing list
Some regulations also need a factory inspection, and some HS codes need an MIM Product Declaration from the Saudi importer.

Frequently asked questions
Is a PCoC enough to clear customs?
No. Every shipment also needs a Shipment Certificate (SCoC), which refers to the PCoC.
What is the difference between Type 1a and Type 3?
Type 1a is based on product testing. Type 3 adds a check of the factory. The regulation for your product decides the type.
Do all products need a PCoC?
No. Some lower-risk products use a Supplier Declaration instead, and some use the Quality Mark, G-Mark, IECEE or CST certificate.
