SABER Certificate for Oil Filters
Oil filters need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers engine oil filters.
Oil filters fall under the Technical Regulation for Auto Spare Parts. 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 or Type 3, depending on the product. Type 1a is type approval: the technical file is reviewed and a sample tested. Type 3 adds a certified product safety management system with factory audits. Original spare parts listed in the regulation need Type 1a, replacement (aftermarket) parts need Type 3, and parts not listed need only a supplier declaration.
- Test reports for your oil filters
- Declaration of conformity
- Product details

Frequently asked questions
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your oil filters. The shipment certificate covers one shipment, so you need a new one each time you ship.
