SABER Certificate for Electric Hoists
Electric hoists need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers pulley tackle and hoists with an electric motor.
Electric hoists fall under the Technical Regulation for Machinery Safety, Part 3: Lifting 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 (type approval). A SASO-accepted certification body reviews your technical file and tests a representative sample. There is no factory audit. An inspection certificate is also needed after installation, and for used equipment.

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 electric hoists. We help you choose.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your electric hoists. 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.
