SABER Certificate for Protective Gloves
Protective gloves need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers coated work gloves and rubber gloves for work use.
Protective gloves fall under the Technical Regulation for Personal Protective Equipment and Clothing. 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 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
Do medical gloves use these codes?
No. Medical and examination gloves are SFDA products with a different route.
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 product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your protective gloves. 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.
