CST Certificate for Multifunction Printers
Multifunction printers need a CST product certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers multifunction printers that print, copy, scan or fax.
Multifunction printers fall under the Technical Regulation for Communications and Information Technology Devices. The Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST) sets the requirements, and its product certificate is issued through SABER. Each shipment then needs its own SABER Shipment Certificate before it can clear Saudi customs.
Documents required
- Test reports for your multifunction printers

Frequently asked questions
Why does this need a CST certificate?
Printers that connect to networks fall under the Communications and IT regulation, so SABER asks for a CST product certificate.
Do I need a certificate for each model?
Usually one certificate can cover a range of models from the same factory. We help you group them.
Is the CST certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The CST certificate covers your multifunction printers. 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.
