G-Mark Certificate for Washing Machines
Washing machines need a G-Mark, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers fully automatic household washing machines.
Washing machines fall under the GCC Technical Regulation for Low Voltage Electrical Equipment and Appliances, and SABER accepts the G-Mark for these codes. The G-Mark is the Gulf conformity mark, issued by a notified body after testing. Each shipment then needs its own SABER Shipment Certificate before it can clear Saudi customs. SABER also lists an energy efficiency label for these codes.
Documents required
- Test reports for your washing machines
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Quality Mark instead of the G-Mark?
Yes. SABER accepts either the G-Mark or the Saudi Quality Mark for washing machines. We help you choose.
Do semi-automatic machines use this code?
No. Semi-automatic and twin-tub machines have their own codes.
Is the G-Mark the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The G-Mark covers your washing machines. 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.
