SABER Certificate for Textile Machinery Parts
Textile machinery parts need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers parts for textile machinery.
Textile machinery parts fall under the Technical Regulation for General Requirements for Machinery Safety. 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.
- Test reports for your textile machinery parts
- Declaration of conformity
- Product details
- Photos of the product and labels
- 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
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 textile machinery. We help you choose.
Do washing and dyeing machines for textiles use these codes?
Some do. Industrial washing, bleaching and dyeing machines fall under 8451 and can follow a different route. Send us your machine and we will check.
Is the product certificate the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The product certificate covers your textile machinery parts. 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.
