G-Mark Certificate for Electric Water Heaters
Electric water heaters need a G-Mark, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers electric storage and instant water heaters.
Electric water heaters 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 electric water heaters

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 water heaters. We help you choose.
Do all codes in this group follow the same route?
No. Water heaters under 8516.10.20 need a SABER product certificate and an energy label instead. Check your exact code in our HS code checker or send us your product.
Is the G-Mark the same as the shipment certificate?
No. The G-Mark covers your electric water heaters. 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.
