SABER Certificate for Drilling Machinery
Drilling machinery needs a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers boring and sinking machines, such as drilling rigs for water wells.
Drilling machinery falls under the Technical Regulation for Machinery Safety, Part 2: Mobile Machinery and Heavy Duty 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
- Test reports for your drilling machinery
- 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.
