SABER Certificate for Ceramic Sanitary Ware
Ceramic sanitary ware needs a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers porcelain sanitary ware, such as toilets, basins, sinks and urinals.
Ceramic sanitary ware falls under the Technical Regulation for Building Materials, Part 4. 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. SABER also lists a water efficiency label for these codes.
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
Does every toilet need a water efficiency label?
Yes. SABER lists the water efficiency label for this code, so it applies to toilets, urinals and similar items.
Do toilet seats and cisterns use the same code?
Plastic seats and cisterns fall under heading 3922. Send us your product and we will confirm it.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your ceramic sanitary ware. 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.
