SABER Certificate for Copper Pipes
Copper pipes need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers tubes and pipes of refined copper and copper alloys, including refrigerant pipes.
Copper pipes fall under the Technical Regulation for Building Materials, Part 5: Tubes and Pipes for Water, Electricity and Gas Networks. 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 3 (type approval plus production assurance). After type approval, your factory needs a certified product safety management system. The certification body visits the factory before approval, which lasts three years, and then carries out periodic and unannounced audits.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Quality Mark instead of a SABER product certificate?
Yes. SABER accepts either a SABER product certificate or the Saudi Quality Mark for copper pipes. We help you choose.
Do copper pipe fittings use these codes?
No. Fittings have their own codes. See our pipe fittings page.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your copper pipes. 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.
