Clear answers to common compliance questions
Answers to the most common questions about testing, inspection, certification and regulatory compliance — to help you understand requirements and plan a smoother path to market.
What is the difference between a PCoC and an SCoC on SABER?
For regulated products, the route is: product registration → a Product Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) issued through a SASO-accepted Conformity Assessment Body → a Shipment Certificate (SCoC) for each shipment. The SCoC links the shipment items to the valid PCoC and is required for customs clearance. SABER Platform Services
Do non-regulated products need a PCoC?
No. For imported non-regulated commercial products, SABER uses an Imported Self-Declaration rather than a third-party PCoC, followed by an SCoC for each shipment. A third-party Product CoC is only required when the product is actually within a regulated scope.
Is my CB certificate enough to sell in Saudi Arabia?
Products covered by Saudi national IECEE requirements need more than an international CB certificate. SASO evaluates the IECEE CB Test Certificate and CB Test Report together with Saudi national differences and other Saudi approvals that may apply, before granting the Saudi IECEE Recognition Certificate.

Does G-Mark replace national requirements in each GCC country?
Not always. G-Mark addresses the applicable Gulf Technical Regulation, but it may not be the only approval needed for a specific GCC country. Depending on the product and destination, national requirements such as energy efficiency, radio/telecom approval, import registration or national conformity schemes may also apply.

If a laboratory is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited, is every test it performs accredited?
No. A laboratory being accredited does not automatically mean that every test it performs is accredited. The specific standard, method or parameter must be checked against the laboratory’s current accreditation scope — Moayana verifies this before testing starts. Laboratory Testing
Can we use test data from our own in-house laboratory?
For household appliances that require energy-efficiency testing, our Test Data Acceptance service lets manufacturers use testing performed in their in-house laboratory. The in-house laboratory is evaluated and qualified by a third-party laboratory holding recognized ILAC accreditation. Test Data Acceptance
