IECEE Certificate for Air Handling Units
Air handling units need IECEE recognition from SASO, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers air handling units for central air conditioning.
Air handling units fall under the GCC Technical Regulation for Low Voltage Electrical Equipment and Appliances. SASO recognises a valid IECEE CB test certificate, so your CB report is the basis of the approval. Each shipment then needs its own SABER Shipment Certificate before it can clear Saudi customs. Since 18 June 2026, your Saudi importer also needs an approved MIM Product Declaration for these codes before the shipment certificate can be issued.
Documents required
- IECEE CB test certificate and test report
- Product details and technical data sheet
- Photos of the product, packaging and markings

This is our default preparation list. Actual requirements depend on the product, HS Code, applicable regulation, certification route and shipment details. We verify the list for your product before proceeding.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Quality Mark instead of IECEE recognition?
Yes. SABER accepts either IECEE recognition or the Saudi Quality Mark for air handling units. We help you choose.
Is IECEE recognition the same as the shipment certificate?
No. IECEE recognition covers your air handling units. The shipment certificate covers one shipment, so you need a new one each time you ship.
Do you provide the certificate?
Yes*. We help you get the certificates your product needs, from preparing the documents to the final approval.
