SABER Certificate for Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers laminate flooring made on a fibreboard core.
Laminate flooring fall under the Technical Regulation for Building Materials, Part 2: Insulation and Cladding Materials. 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. Since 18 June 2026, your Saudi importer also needs an approved MIM Product Declaration for these codes before the shipment certificate can be issued.
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 laminate flooring. We help you choose.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your laminate flooring. 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.
