SABER Certificate for Industrial Boilers
Industrial boilers need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers industrial steam boilers, including water-tube and fire-tube boilers.
Industrial boilers fall under the Technical Regulation for Pressure Equipment. Before the first shipment, an approved certification body reviews your test reports and issues a SABER Product Certificate. Each shipment then needs its own SABER Shipment Certificate before it can clear Saudi customs.
Documents required
SABER certificate type: Type 1a or Type 3, depending on the product. Type 1a is type approval: the technical file is reviewed and a sample tested. Type 3 adds a certified product safety management system with factory audits. Pressure equipment in categories I and II needs Type 1a; categories III and IV need Type 3. Category I equipment supplied by the manufacturer or its legal representative needs only a supplier declaration.
- Test reports for your industrial boilers
- Declaration of conformity
- Product details

- Factory inspection documents (Type 3 products only)

Frequently asked questions
Do hot-water boilers use these codes?
No. Central heating boilers fall under heading 8403.
Does a boiler need on-site inspection too?
SABER covers the product certificate. Your buyer may ask for on-site checks once it is installed.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your industrial boilers. 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.
