IECEE Certificate for Solar Panels
Solar panels need IECEE recognition from SASO, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers solar photovoltaic (PV) modules and panels.
Solar panels fall under the Technical Regulation for Small Scale Solar PV Systems. SASO recognises a valid IECEE CB test certificate, so your CB report is the basis of the approval. Each shipment then needs its own SABER Shipment Certificate before it can clear Saudi customs.
Documents required
- IECEE CB test certificate and test report
- Product details and technical data sheet
- Photos of the product, packaging and markings
- Declaration of conformity
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
This is our default preparation list. Actual requirements depend on the product, HS Code, applicable regulation, certification route and shipment details. We verify the list for your product before proceeding.
The market

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Quality Mark instead of IECEE recognition?
Yes. SABER accepts either IECEE recognition or the Saudi Quality Mark for solar panels. We help you choose.
Do solar inverters use this code?
No. Inverters fall under heading 8504 and follow a different route.
Is IECEE recognition the same as the shipment certificate?
No. IECEE recognition covers your solar panels. 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.
