SABER Certificate for Electric Motors
Electric motors need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers multi-phase AC electric motors, from small motors up to 375 kW, including motors for fire pumps.
Electric motors fall under the GCC Technical Regulation for Low Voltage Electrical Equipment and Appliances. 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.
