SABER Certificate for CCTV Cameras
CCTV cameras need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers security cameras, video cameras and digital cameras.
CCTV cameras fall under the Technical Regulation for Communications and Information Technology Devices. 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 (type approval). A SASO-accepted certification body reviews your technical file and tests a representative sample. There is no factory audit.
- Test reports for your CCTV cameras
- Declaration of conformity
- Product details
- Photos of the product and labels
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
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
Do video recorders (DVRs and NVRs) use these codes?
No. Recorders have their own codes. Send us your product and we will confirm it.
Do I need a certificate for each model?
Usually one certificate can cover a range of models from the same factory. We help you group them.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your CCTV cameras. 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.
