SABER Certificate for Welding Machines
Welding machines need a SABER Product Certificate, and every shipment needs a SABER Shipment Certificate.
Overview
This page covers arc welding machines, including plasma arc and automatic machines.
Welding machines 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 welding machines
- 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.
