SABER Certificate for Spark Plugs
Spark plugs need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers spark plugs for petrol engines.
Spark plugs fall under the Technical Regulation for Auto Spare Parts. 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 or Type 3, depending on the product. Type 1a is type approval: the technical file is reviewed and a sample tested. Type 3 adds a certified product safety management system with factory audits. Original spare parts listed in the regulation need Type 1a, replacement (aftermarket) parts need Type 3, and parts not listed need only a supplier declaration.
- Test reports for your spark plugs
- Declaration of conformity
- Product details
- Photos of the product and labels
- Factory inspection documents (Type 3 products only)
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
Do glow plugs use this code?
No. Glow plugs for diesel engines fall under 8511.80.
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 spark plugs. 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.
