SABER Certificate for Slippers
Slippers need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers slippers and other footwear with textile uppers.
Slippers fall under the Technical Regulation for Shoes and their Accessories. 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 (type approval). A SASO-accepted certification body reviews your technical file and tests a representative sample. There is no factory audit. Footwear for infants under 36 months needs Type 3.

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 slippers. We help you choose.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your slippers. 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.
